I would say all
sides come to the forefront, but I think that some of us see things
from more than one
side to begin with and that there are many «
sides» (perspectives) that are out there, I don't think it is a polemic, and I don't think it is «
sides» in terms of choosing
sides in a war... more a dialogue where confrontations take place, but (hopefully) most of the time not with the intent of winners and losers (or, if that is the intent, that hopefully we realize that and adjust our own
rhetoric to move away
from that pardigm)
