[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 962833, member: 12570"] This is the paragraph from which WZ lifted the quote for their misleading headline: Talking is good. Conversations have to be forever. You know, they can't come in spits and starts when there's an incident. I think we all need, as a country, to continue to talk about these issues, to understand our communities and the challenges that we face, which are different and unique depending upon where you live. It's all about, you know, continuing to get to know ourselves in a very diverse and complicated country that is America. It is a wonderful place to live. But because it is so diverse, our challenges are complex. So there isn't, you know, a one-shot solution to this. It is complicated. It takes time. It takes openness. It takes compassion. It takes patience. And it takes a lot of work. So we should all be ready to roll up our sleeves and keep doing that work. As you can see, the "one-shot solution" quote, while stupid if posted alone, fits in nicely within the context of the paragraph. [/QUOTE]
