K9V 5E7 Jim Plumpton, Sales Rep 1-800-461-1 429 by Larry Solway Ready or not, here I corne 1 like good conversation. You iremember "conversa- lion." lt's what you gel wýhen people actually exchange ideas. My favourite c:onver*sa- tionalist is a cousin of myv wife's with a long and distinguished record of com- rnlty service as a psychiatrie social worker. When she talks 1 listen. When 1 talk she walks out of the room. Seriously lhough... For me there are two sets of ideas: mine and the ones not worth lisîening to. At làst that is the" iew of thousands who have lislened to or read what 1 have to say. ln spile of democracy, imost people get along best with people they agree with. The cousin says mny pro- blem is that 1 "challengýe" people too rnuch. Challenge turns people off. Makes lhen squirrn. Feel uncomifortable. Worst of ail, it makes themn defensive. When people are defensive they eîher gt ugly and aggressiv'e or sulflen and sulent. Whal is the alternaýtive? Accordinig 10 her il is, to find commioni ground and enlargeý it. She says il is important that you first listen carefuilly 10 what somieone is saying or) tryin.g to say. Try t es anlother personi's vaues nd ideas even bTefor e -eyv spoken. Having s eîhien you deliberalely avoid treading on them, you com- promise. In her terms, if she wvorks wilh a social delin- quent who refuses sçhool or- work or social responsibliîy she does not point out the er- ror of his ways. She tries to understand. The word is "ýempalhy." She says my problem is that rîght away 1 hold up the miirror and tell people where they wenl wrong. 1 lake another, person's, opinion, and if il &o-en't measure up i trash t. She says that everyone is enîtitled to a set of values, and however risdirected 1 may think îhey are, those values are precious, lhey must be understood and accepîed before they cýan be altered. 1 say i don't have the lime, the patienceë, or the luxury of waiting wýhile someone crawls out of the cave. So 1 arn back in prini again. t have a forum again. Archimnedes, the Greek mathemnatician-physicist- philosopher said: "Give me a place to stand and I can, move thle wrld."- He meant with a fuLlcrurnm placed in the right spot and a long enough han- die, youi couild make a lever that could nmove a weight as bigL as the world. Mvy "place to stand" is a 4iiumMaybe IL çan move somethinq. Enlough iphilosophy. If you have read this far you are curious beyond belief, or in- credulous, or guilible, or stuck with time on your hands, or for some mischievous reason in- terested. Challenge is my style. 1 challenge ail of us. Look around and ask questions. Be critîcal. Not mindlessly negative - Ihat is not truly critical. Critical means 10 develop the abiiity to digest information and to make judgements based on that in- formation. On fact. On research. On educaîed obser- vation. ',"Nol liking" something isn't good enough unless you can say why you don't like il. Thisfcolumn will be critical and it will challenge. Nothing will We too private or too sacred. It will challenge the mindlessness of "single issue", politics, attitudes o f education and educalors, religious zealots, town plan- ners, pet loyers, senior citizens, drivers, shoppers, diners, and drinkers, loyers, liars and louis. It will be local where it counits, natio nal where it hurts, international where it miaiters, personal where the shoc pinches. This mnay sornetimes be funny, sometimes fuirious. And if thîs; long and i mn -riing egnnn~asboréd vôu --i will be thie last tlme.
