Paul Thompson on Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance

[Paul Thompson]

Yes, thank you. I am not ready to march on, but .... How are the chickens?

[Bill Katz]

For Joyce: I may be testing that 1st amendment right. I’ll sit at a table as I’ve done previously. Selling my scathing book about Trump “Donald’s Vanity Tantrums.” I’m going to need counsel, Attorney Vance. I’m sure I will be detained.

[WJB Motown]

Why not shut down the computer....to to the Womans March for Inauguration day.

Your ladies need protection from controlling/prowling magat men starting Jan 20.

[lauriemcf]

We need to fight. All of us. Men and Women for all of our rights. Women need support - just as men do -- we can all support each other.

[Sandra Hardie]

WJB, "protection" has become a four-letter word in this day and age. How about replacing it with something less patriarchal?

[WJB Motown]

I had no idea about using wrong words.......so what do I need to know to correct the situation. Day One will be here very soon and the resistance message needs to be loud and clear.......that is where I am coming from.

[Sandra Hardie]

Not sure myself, WJB. Personally, I would prefer "support". All I'm really looking for is respect for my autonomy.

[WJB Motown]

Support, absolutly. Going into uncharted waters here and respect is the priority. Putting our heads together and coming up with common ground solutions, that should be the goal in these trying times.

[Sandra Hardie]

"...common ground solutions" certainly works for me. Thanks, WJB.

[Annie D Stratton]

Bless both of you, Sandra and WJB. You just demonstrated a fine way to find a common ground through humility and respectful discussion. Thank you.

[A doc reads]

WJB, well said.

[kdsherpa]

Beautiful.
