I just read Raj Jawa’s Aug. 26 letter to the editor, “Opinions evolving will build consensus,” and while it was interesting, Mr. Jawa failed to take one thing into account — politicians.

As I was growing up, my parents taught me that there are, indeed, two sides to every issue.

However, as I matured it became quite clear that when there are politicians involved there may be as many as six or seven sides to every issue and the politicians might be on all of them.
