[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 302678, member: 3704"] Fran, Thanks for posting this thoughtful article. I have been very troubled by the powerful emotions expressed during this time of town hall meetings in our country. I spend a big part of my work days as a mediator between employer/insurers and injured workers in the Workers' Compensation system in my state. I have learned much personally over the years as I have observed the process of mediation and attempted compromise. When the parties in my mediations refuse to compromise, everyone loses. I can usually predict, by now, who will compromise and who will not. Willingness to listen to others is a big part of this. It's always a good day for me, when parties can reach agreement that everyone is comfortable with. I am very concerned that our country's current atmosphere is one of refusal to listen and compromise. I can only hope that our leadership can continually place that ideal out to our population as a possible solution to our current situation - and remind us all of our possibilities to work together!
