Faced with problems on a scale far beyond that which humanity has ever imagined or confronted in the past, we are now FORCED to become EFFECTIVE at generating viable SOLUTIONS for all of humanity. In order to move BEYOND the red/blue Republican/Democrat standoff we need a way to obtain mutually BENEFICIAL solutions. The Purple Dialogue is a LIVE communication process with the TWO-WAY exchange of information. Words do not communicate meaning and intent accurately so verification needs to take place. If there is ever disagreement on any issue then this means that both sides do not UNDERSTAND each other. At least one side needs to learn something new. They either need to learn how to express themselves better or they need to learn what the other side is trying to say, or both. Once BOTH sides UNDERSTAND each other accurately then mutually beneficial solutions become more obvious. Barack Obama is a good example of how The Purple Dialogue is used to express solution-oriented possibilities that take all points-of-view into consideration.

EXAMPLES:
THE SANDBOX METAPHOR
Anything is possible and humans just figure out how to do different things with the toys in their own sandbox and even figure out how to make new toys out of old toys. Sometimes some people don't understand the toys in other people's sandboxes. Some people may have more toys to play with and some may have more or less sand. If we do not visit other people's sandboxes and play with them and their toys then we have no "right" to condemn much less criticize them. And, some people can notice the decay of life on the leaves of the trees as they approach someone who is playing in a nuclear polluted sandbox. Perhaps they even have a device that can sense the dangerous levels of radiation before they even get anywhere near the sandbox. So, they need to find a way to explain their experience to the person from a distance.
THE GAY ISSUE
Again, this is really a very simple issue if you realize that every human being has a different amount and mixture of male and female parts and pieces (gender organs, DNA, genes, hormones, etc.) and therefore what they look like on the outside does not necessarily represent the "sum of their parts" or how this mixture actually turned out in a specific person. Therefore, it is a "human" rights issue and not necessarily a gay-specific issue. This is one case where science can NOT determine the "essence" of any singular human being. It is ludicrous that a supposedly* gay person has to "fight" for their basic human right. All humans are humans, can we all agree with that?
* I say "supposedly" gay because if the specific gender manifestation can not be accurately deter mined scientifically then then law breaks down when attempting to apply the law to a person because of how their gender was determined by the law. In other words, gender discrimination by the law is unlawful due to the ultimate misidentification of any one person as being EITHER male or female. The "bio-psycho barrier" (kind of similar to the concept of the blood-brain barrier) can not be scientifically determined. In other words, the effect that a specific person's physical makeup has on their own personal psychology can not be determined by science. If anyone wants assistance in preparing a legal brief with this concept in mind then please feel free to contact us.
Barack Obama is a lawyer and will EASILY understand this concept and support us in the effective communication of it.
