"I liked the relaxed and open attitude my daughter and her friend had about the issue of what religion everybody was, in contrast to the way this issue is often dealt with among adults:
FIRST ADULT: "God says I'M right!"
SECOND ADULT: "No, God says I'M right!"
FIRST ADULT: "You're a pinecone head!"
SECOND ADULT: "No, YOU'RE . . ."
And so on. What's my point? Just this: If people of all different faiths - Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Yankee fans - spent some time together, talking AND listening to each other, maybe - just maybe - we'd all beging to see that, despite our differences, deep down inside, all of us, except for some of the Yankee fans, are human beings, riding together in the buggy of life. Is that being too naive?"
Amen, Dave. Amen.

I love Dave Barry!!
I had an English teacher in high school who read Dave Barry's column to us every Friday morning. At any rate, I concur with him, and you.
I agree. :)
True communication with listening could solve a lot of problems.
Dave Barry is awesome!!
I agree, if we'd stop harping so much on what's different and start focusing more on what's the same, everyone (even the yankee fans) would be a whole lot happier.
