Hi Bill
I think you have really hit on one important thing that many forget when we
hear each person's story of what occurred. Usually, it is not an either/or
thing, but the truth lies somewhere in-between. I guess what I mean here is
that it is not either she is telling the whole truth or he is telling the
whole truth. In reality, we act and believe our perceptions of the
situation, not necessarily the reality of the whole situation. How's that
for a muddy explanation??
But what has me baffled is the lack of interest by the younger generation in
what is occurring with this mess. Some of them do not even know what is
happening and even if they are aware of the "mess" have no concern about how
it affects the political process, our international relations, etc. I know I
can't generalize to the majority of young people in our society from my
experiences with the younger generation at this school, but I see hundreds
everyday, not just one or two.
