As I posted recently, Arthur and I got into an interesting conversation about Affirmative Action on Tom’s blog that spilled into real life.
The conversation concluded with Arthur saying this:
I don’t think I know anybody with strongly held political beliefs whose positions on numerous issues are as organic as mine. I am perfectly willing to change my position on an issue if the basis of my argument is successfully proven to be wrong. After that dinner, I changed my position on AfAc. Now my biggest complaint about it is that I know a better option is out there, somebody just has to think of it.
Just quoting it, that’s all. Just really damn well-written and smart and my son wrote it. So there you are.
