We continue the discussion on dealing with unreasonable people and how to avoid the drama. Good, thoughtful discussion on the pitfalls and traps we should look for when trying to avoid the button-pushing and drama-creation of unreasonable people. And perhaps a surprising note about Jesus and unreasonable people.

Based on teaching by Alan Godwin.

(UPDATE: Here is Avoiding the Drama Handout, in PDF format, which covers the last two weeks of class.)
