Hi Tom :)

I think rational discussion is possible if all parties are, up-front, truly prepared to listen and even change their minds. I think thats the key. Otherwise we can get what is known as the collective monologue :)

Have a great weekend. I'm off for a week of sun, sea, and long walks and talks with my brats on the beaches of Natal.
