Cynicism Run Amok?

John Sellers' and Barbara Dudley's cynicism is disheartening, and their use of it to personally attack Adam Werbach is just plain mean-spirited, and counterproductive.

There are many different perspectives on what are the best methods to use to achieve environmental goals, and they are often presented in
opposition: work within the system (in this case a system the size of a small country) or, oppose the system on principles, compromising
nothing.  What if instead of opposition, we allow each to work within their own framework and accomplish what they can within their own
perspectives.  In other words, work within the system, AND continue to challenge the system from the outside (being its conscience or
voice of integrity).  It's time for to use the word "and" rather than "or".  Every perspective has a piece of the truth, places of effectiveness and places of limitation.  In the end - using many approaches, from many perspectives, working together, will get us the environmental results we all want.On In working with Wal-Mart, activist Adam Werbach is abandoning his principles posted 3 years, 4 months ago 9 Responses
