These things can become symbols for larger issues like responsibility, and being appreciative. Our guest is Philadelphia author Stephen Fried, in his new book "Husbandry" he talks about marriage, dishwashers, socks, bathrooms, love and life. 10/22/07 Justice can mean many things - a guilty verdict in a court room, a payment, expelling a bully from school. But what do we really want when we ask for justice? Anyone who has experienced injustice knows that it feels like a theft. Something has been taken from one's life, whether it is security, a loved one, or a bodily function. Some experts suggest that what people really want is to have their loss understood and acknowledged. Dan Gottlieb and his guests will take a look at the practice of restorative justice, what it is and how it accomplishes the goal of healing the wounds of injustice. Will also hear about some of its practical applications ranging from schools to nations to our own homes. Our guests are Mary Ellen Mannix and Ted Wachtel. Mannix is Chapter President Pulse of PA, and has initiated PEACE in Healthcare. Ted Wachtel is president of the International Institute for Restorative Practices located Pennsylvania. 10/29/07 Everybody hates a liar - but we all lie!
