ww - Unless we all live within (or at least next to - within 'view') each others' cultures, we'll never all speak the same language... this shows how true natural polarization works... manifest most clearly in the difference between the sexes. The age of communication we live in may help 'bridge the gap', but my driving point was:

"Getting someone to hear you doesn't mean they're listening."

(ps - I *usually make this point with the words 'listen' and 'hear' in the opposite juxtaposition, but I started this time the 'other way around')
