• Completing The Different Drum

  
  — Authority:
  I finished M. Scott Pecks The Different Drum: Community Making and Peace . My latest reading had a few paradoxes, even if Peck may not classify them as such.  He wants for groups to be inclusive, even politically, for he states that a Democrat seeking to form a group should include Republicans.  Yet, Peck ...
