Morrison’s fingerprints are all over the botched process, but will he accept any responsibility for this scandal? Of course not.
“Agreement on difficult topics may not be possible. Even then, the process of working towards agreement, of honest and open discussion, can be important. We seem to have lost this ability, or perhaps the desire. And yet, this bleak fact too is something we will largely leave unspoken.”
