Last week we wrote about dialogue. Dialogue can do so much. Dialogue can forge relationships, or mend broken ones. Dialogue can help two people who disagree understand each other, and themselves.
Dialogue can bring people closer together.
If anything's going to bring peace and harmony to the world, dialogue is it. We know that a lot of people feel they already know Al Gore and his anti-environmentalist policies and values. We know this because of events that transpired in the chapel on Tuesday. In case you haven't read the article, a group of people, mostly not current Macalester students, interrupted a speech by Gore's environmental advisor, Kathleen A. McGinty. The protesters shouted questions at her and then didn't allow her to answer.
