I agree--we do need to hear a multitude of voices. No one is all of a piece; no group is all of piece. My mother used to say, "I'll shake you till your teeth rattle," and there have been times when I've wanted to do that to the leaders of most countries, and to those followers who can see only one side of all questions. There has been too much suffering, too much selfishness, too much hunger for power and not enough hunger for generosity. Let us at least try to listen to other voices so that our own voices can produce a richer harmony.
