America Must Step Out of This Self-Destructive Zombie Dance

This provocative piece by Amanda Ripley in the Washington Post takes a look at how we can reduce conflict in civil society by adapting some proven de-escalation techniques used in conflict zones.

Says Nealin Parker of Common Ground USA, “If you want the future to look different than the past, you have to focus on what to do differently. You have to reject the whole set of actions that got you to this point.” The piece drew almost 1,400 comments on the Post’s website.
