To the Editor...
For all the books and programs offered or required in schools, libraries, courts news outlets and public speaking programs such as Toastmasters.org (which is offering some free online conventions and support tips,) the idea of having a meaningful discussion online or among a group of people (say 2-6 for starters) is not common and could be as scary as giving a formal rehearsed speech. Being open to hear people with differing views is part of how we can tune into our local and wider sense of humanity, culture and politics.
