Well said, Taran. On many matters of importance there is a crucial "opinion divide" that has to be narrowed if we are to walk together.
Work together. One of the reasons for bridging the "digital divide" is that as more people everywhere are able to communicate more are able to take part in the opinion divide. In the search for the agreement that precedes acting together.

These issues brought up... though I honestly don't understand them... are part of what we have to deal with. Understanding better what we have to deal with is a remarkable tool. Exploring different perspectives is important, as long as it can be done peacefully. Finding the things we agree on is less important, I think, than finding the things we disagree on. We do have a lot of work to do, and understanding where we disagree seems very important to me. -- Taran Rampersad [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxgazette.com http://www.a42.com http://www.worldchanging.com http://www.knowprose.com http://www.easylum.net "Criticize by creating." — Michelangelo _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message. _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
