Of course, and wonderfully, there is a considerable diversity of views on this list, Brad. It would be even better if there were more. I'll cede the opportunity, though, on trying to offer a 'critique of ideology.' Ideology and the structure of ideology are not my forte.
And yes, we all have blindnesses of one type or another. My plea is simply that we proactively seek to pierce these blindnesses, rather than hold to them wiht the force of a drowning man gripping a life-ring. Curiosity, inquiry and learning are ever-rewarding. Best regards, Lawry > -----Original Message----- > From: Brad McCormick, Ed.D.
