Today I went to a non controversial controversial panel on affirmative Action. While I appreciated the speaker's knowledge, there should have been a dissenter, just for color.

Also, I am really interested in tension between what is supposed to happen and what really does. Our myths say 'if you work hard, think happy thoughts, and compete against others, all will be well". But to me, these myths are ringing hollower and hollower every day. There are so many things I can't just resolve with 'they are just bad people'. I want to find out what is really going on.
