Should the educational burden be entirely on the community? There is a deep isolation, not to mention exhaustion, in that “cultural tax”—especially after a tragedy. Do we as Americans simply leave the community to articulate itself to its neighbors? Do we ask them to teach us at the same time as they are burying their dead? Or are there ways that fellow travelers can participate in the educational process? Mon, 13 Aug 2012 12:26:01 EDT Laurie Patton 957556e3-88d2-4ce9-97c1-a275d27269c1
