Lisa, I too see the flaw or what can be missed in the practice of Democratic Majority Takes All voting in this country,indeed the minority voice (whoever they may be in any situation) often hold the wisdom that will make any decision that much better for the group as a whole! It is naive to belive that those who 'loose the vote' without the opportunity to epress their wisdom or what they need in order to come along will now just adopt the views of the winners... A dialogue and decision making process developed in South Africa by Myrna and Gregg Lewis takes these considerations fully into account.
