A good idea for a thread, but like mine on non-partisan political comments, I doubt if it will be treated in a serious manner.



"Nonetheless, there are many areas in which this method of perceiving reality is inappropriate, inefficient, and tension-producing. there are aspects of interpersonal relationships, for example, where viewing things in a binary, "either-or" fashion can defeat communication and perpetuate conflict.
