Today in our world…
- Can you believe that a Red Sox fan was recently assaulted in NYC? Did he bring it on himself for wearing Red Sox regalia in the big bad city? Where is the intersection between fan fever and violence? Do you think Bostonians will retaliate? Are these people just nuts?
- What do you think about the fact that as much as 15% of students are admitted to elite universities who do not meet the minimal academic requirements? Isn’t this affirmative action? So, why is there so much focus on affirmative action on behalf of the descendents of slaves? And, where do poor white kids fit into the picture? What about that guy who went to Federal Court to raise his grade from a C to an A-minus? What if he’s one of the fifteen percenters? How do we know?
- Whoa, now that takes guts: Hillary comes out for science in the only developed country that has such a high rate of religiosity, according to new research published by the Pew Research Center.
