Greetings dear Andrew,
Thank you very much for this metaphor of overlaid images depicting the
dialogue.
I remebered that in the seventies there was an organisation against
apartheid. I forgot its name. But what i shall never forget is that as
tool it used the dialogue -- getting people together from the entire
political spectrum, even those outside it, to talk freely on apartheid.
What i also shall never forget is how most apartheid politicians lectured
their supporters that any such a dialogue will make them jelly heads so
that communists can misuse them for any purpose. I looked up in the
English-Afrikaans dictionary:-
dialogue="oop-samespraak"=>open-conversation Huh?
Lastly, i remember how much all this confused me. I knew too little of the
dialogue to know which monologue was closer to the truth. I wondered how
an open-conversation can be so evil. It never struck me in those days that
anyone with a questionable agenda cannot allow an open-converstation.
With care and best wishes
