Re: [at-l] ATML on Bryson movie

["W F Thorneloe, MD" <thornel@attglobal.net>]

Which demonstrates the original point. There are more than 1 or 2 views to 
any story. Part of our campfire on AT-L is our ability to have several 
views, and tolerate those who have a narrower view without banishing them 
from the list. I wish it were possible for others to learn more from each 
other, but I learn from every opportunity.

I often use an old joke: How many psychiatrists does it take to change a 
lightbulb? One, but the light bulb must want to change. Similarly, one has 
to be willing to see other views before change or learning.

I hope that tolerance will prevail, as most of us know how the alternative 
works.
