Fred Pearson, director of the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies at Wayne State, was quoted on America's reactions to the election. He advises most people who are unsatisfied with the election results to find a common ground with the opposition on long-term issues like health care and the war on terrorism. \'\'We need to be able to listen to each other,\'\' he says. Pearson thinks the Web potentially could unite citizens who seek to put aside rancor and brainstorm solutions to problems.
