My affirmative-action cupcake "event" led to some interesting discussions. One young woman began by criticizing me, "It's absolutely wrong."
But after I raised the parallel with college admissions, she said: "No race of people is worth more than another. Or less."
But do you believe in affirmative action in colleges? I asked.
"I used to," she replied. Those are the kind discussions students should have.

Good for her. It's never too late to learn!
I never miss an opportunity to have a conversation with a calm liberal. Mostly they’re family members but face to face they have real trouble explaining why I should pay for things they want but I will never have use of.
They can point to highways they seldom use and I can point to their groceries which made much of the trip on highways and I can point to the “user fees” I pay at the gas station.
I keep an open invitation to my liberal family members to come see me sometime and take the opportunity to show me why socialism is good for me.
