Respectfully Brian, I read all viewpoints to be just plain points of concern. Opinions, as asked.

Not agreeing with anyone doesn't necessarily mean it's a negative viewpoint. Just something that person is thinking about, to throw out there as a concern, to maybe work out the details.

Pros and cons aren't always positive and negatives. By bringing up other viewpoints, they can sometimes lead to better results in the longrun,,,,or not.

The key is getting all viewpoints, then having an open mind to be in the center, to then think of all the points as valid opinions. But that goes against politics, as sides do seem to be taken, and that;s that. I thought JPF displayed a great debate by voicing many viewpoints and concerns.

To not agree doesn't have to mean it's negative. Ideally, yes, it would be great if all our ideas and wishes were taken with a 51% or greater reaction. 100% is what we often hope for, but never really get. Maybe the others thought things through in different ways, thinking about all kinds of factors, which could add up to not wanting to do a certain thing.

Many minds thinking of many things, and at different times. It's good to get all points of view, I think.

Even world peace has a hard time taking hold!

But I know it can be frustrating when you have a vision, and others just don't see the same thing. WE all experience that, as we are at the center of our own world most times, hearing our own thoughts mostly, and having them BE the right ones. To go against that would seem as if negative. But I don't think that's the case. It's just their centered thoughts talking too.

No wonder songwriters get frustrated! "Everybody should hear my songs"!

Keep at the plan of course, and also, how to present any plan to be in the interest of all the ones actually controlling the monies. If it all benefits the people, they might not have that as being on the top of their "to do" list.
