I was impressed years ago by a field experiment organized by Professor James Fishkin (U.T. Government Department) and others regarding deliberative political discussions in which groups achieved positive outcomes after discussions between persons who were initially in disagreement. Similar research continues.

The problem, of course, is there are few incentives or opportunities for people of different political groups to meet and listen to one another. Even in my classroom experiences over the years, students often seemed unyielding and adversarial when differences arose.
