The idea that the campaign is war, not a campaign -- I've heard numerous times. Now it is time to get past combat imagery [oh, no! all video games support that!] and move to something that deals with differences in a different way. I see that our emotions run most of our beliefs and decisions, so this will be quite a challenge. Maybe more women in government leadership roles can help this to turn a corner? I hope we don't remain "armchair" on whether this is "the new normal." What say we? It is not only G 2 that is out there in the world. We can add our wisdom-clout-sageness-moral persuasion-reflection-civility-intention-care on this. Let each of us think on how we might add our influence toward generating a new civility. Erik Erickson (*Identity and the Life Cycle*) delineated the last two stages of life as: Generativity vs. Stagnation, and finally, Integrity vs. Despair. I invite us to choose generativity here, moving toward integrity.

Doing the 24 was modeling a future, not destroying folk. Combat mode was a great WWII metaphor when JWM talked tactics. The issue for me is how do we get past combat mode on 11/9? Or is this the new normal?

The elections are combat, not some interesting and sensitive conversation at the university table.
What do you thinks doing the 24 was……Not a sophisticated wine chat at your local bar. _______________________________________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net
