You are doing what I want to do--instill in others the desire to approach problems by viewing alternatives, hearing the other side, and finding common ground first before drawing lines in the sand. Your piece on Sea World was excellent. .

Position vs. Principal. One of the things that I like most about mediating, is trying to find a way to allow the person who holds to their principal(s) until I find a way to help them see the other side (or at least to view it from a different perspective), this usually can only come from a positive place. I am sure that both sides in this discussion have valid points, do you have wild animals in captivity or should all wild animals be free? Thank you Lee Jay, for putting a topic out there to think about. .

However, we have recently learned about the high intelligence of dolphins and other mammals species we enjoy keeping in captivity. Movies like Planet of the Apes, Free Willie, Star Trek and others delivered the messages long ago. Perhaps the whales will mediate for us!!
