I don’t subscribe to the ivory tower nonsense. Only thing that matters to me are the quality of the ideas, not what position one has. So, I did read both of your articles, and complimented them. That said, I don’t think there is any “magic bullet” solution to the deeply entrenched problems of our world. As I said, it starts with mutual recognition (respect) but you can’t legislate that and you can’t distribute it. It can only come from convincing one person at a time. The way forward is dialogue — mutual listening and sharing. Admitting that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution is a necessary step toward justice. That answer is messy, andpeople don’t want to deal with that truth.
