[Vision2020] What if..

[Mike Curley]

Carl and Ben and other Visionaries:
I don't think we have to be quite so hypothetical.  What I see in Moscow is that when 
one of us strands a car in a snowbank or ditch, we don't ask for religious or 
philosophical identification papers or for a clarification of sexual preferences.  We stop 
and attend to the problem.  It appears that fundamentally we care about the health, 
welfare, and safety of one another.  I don't think that has a lot to do with how 
passionate we are about our various religious and philosophical beliefs or our sexual 
preferences, but it does provide a little balance to our perspective.  Perhaps we'd to 
well to remember a phrase from a negotion theory:  be hard on the problem, but easy 
on the people.  
Maybe, then, more snow and slippery roads are good things?  No, actually, more snow, 
but with dry roads would be just fine with me.  I wish all of you the best at avoiding 
drifts and ditches--but I will stop if you've had some bad luck just as you have for me.
