One of the things I like best about my work is interacting with others who are different from me. Makes life more interesting.

We usually speak at either liberal or moderate schools. Only once have we spoken at a conservative school, and this particular one was very conservative. John was anxious for how he would be received and I was glad to see that he was treated with great respect. I, however, spoke at the University of Wisconsin, Madison recently and was hissed at - hissed at, like vaudeville! The situation also required a police escort to my car. That event however, was without John. If he had been there, the reaction would have been much better, I am sure.

I love the opportunity to have a friend in John were we can try to demonstrate in a real way how two people can passionately disagree on very serious matters, and still esteem one another. We would like to have others join us in that.

John and I are both very disturbed by audience members who don't conduct themselves well, regardless of which side they are on. But that is very rare. Most people seem thankful for the way and seriousness with which we engage the issue and our obvious respect for each other.
