as long as we have conversation, there is hope for people to be hearing things. That's aly wong. Something that i've been saying to many of my close friends and families is i think that it's really important for us to understand that we're not all experts in everything. Nw. You can have a conversation on something, whether it's the economy or environmentalism or nuclear policy, and oftentimes we enter into a dialogue thinking that just because we've watched the news, we're an expert on something. That's not true. I don't know a lot about the economy. I don't know a lot about environmentalism. I know a lot about nuclear policy. And so i'd like to believe that if i enter into a conversation about economic reform, i can take a back seat and say, hey, would you teach me about that? Would you?

If you're straying away from this politeness, and you threaten to get a bit angry with each other a then you take it back and perhaps go in a different direction, talk about something else for a while, and then gonei towards
