This intent should then inform the reaction. It's clear that ignorance has caused the problem, but its also clear that the problem hasn't resulted from maliciousness. The benefit of the doubt MUST be given, the error politely pointed out and the ignorance removed through education, their reaction is then critical, if they do nothing then by all means unleash the dogs, but if they do something to rectify the error then another victory against ignorance has been won.<br /><br />It's a highly complex issue, that even those who live and breath it get wrong. How can the rest of the population be expected to get it right all the time, and to jump down their throats when they inevitably make a mistake is absolutely the worst thing to do, which will only result in further alienation. We'll never make any progress in understanding if we attack every slight, we need to choose the right battles to fight but far more importantly take the opportunity and generate the right circumstances to provide education, THAT is the only answer to ignorance.<br /><br />Sorry Adam, but your was right first time round.Megan Lucasnoreply@blogger.com
