Seek agreement not disagreement

Dear Editor:

Tread with interest the article in the Oct. 18 News entitled’ “Split decision delivered.” 1 am glad to see that someone is taking Doug Collins and your paper to task,

Although Tam displeased that the North Share News continues to give this mana place to express. hi hateful and myapic views. at this time. | am writing about something Timothy Renshaw expressed about Mr. Collins’ role as a journalist.

According to the reporter, Mr. Renshaw said that the North Shore News publishes’ Doug Collins because he does “what a good opin- ion columnist should do: provoke ‘disagreement and discussion’ on numerous issues.”

At this. time in history, our species is struggling to survive. Here in. Lotus. Lund we don’t sce those struggles as readily as people in other parts of the world, What we need to.be looking for now is the common ground on which to build understanding.

Where do we do we disagree?

Most people on Earth have more in common -than they do differ- ences, But we get so caught up in

agree, not where

ee Where woods really matter.
