Thinking Liberally

Got to the local Drinking Liberally (all right, actually Brunching Liberally since it wasn't evening, and I just remembered I forgot to ask about the cutback schedule, but dinner wants to be made.  Now) and exchanged intelligent conversation about the state of education and the Palestinian/Israeli mess, some of which on both sides seems to be self-inflicted.  

Present:  Christina, Judy, Michael, Karita, Paul, Raphael, Nicholas, Margaret, Ellen, and Aaron.

And yes, I am ignoring the Super Bowl.
