Under the skin, are we all really the same? Or, are we all really very different from each other? Can we be both the same and different, all at once? Is that really possible?
These questions are being asked and discussed because we are dealing with these very issues in our work. The answers- if there are conclusive answers- have a direct bearing on how we both perceive and address the various issues we face in the political arena.
