Great Society Begets Bad Society

The trouble with panels on Oprah or otherwise is that they do not include people like Mr. McWhorter who present a rational, informed and, in my opinion, non-partisan argument for subjects like this. Most of those getting the major attention either have an ax to grind or are so stuck in their respective viewpoints that their minds closed long ago. Bravo to Mr. McWhorter.
