I enjoyed this "Hits of 2021" compendium. Badass motherfucker and your refusal to cede any ground to John on your assessment of Obama and his presidency were my favorites.

Books I would not have read but for Glenn include: Freedom is not Enough by James Patterson, The Anatomy of Racial Inequality by Glenn and Crime and Punishment. I am trying to get up my courage to read War and Peace in the new year.

As far as changing my mind, I keep trying to find a reason to change my mind about John but so far I have been unsuccessful.

I’m curious: What is it about John that you keep trying to change your mind about, but are unsuccessful at doing so?

In my view, John is a card carrying member of the progressive coastal elite and in general has no problem with their wokeness except as it negatively impacts African Americans. He looks down his nose at those those that are not, including those in "fly over country" as well as anyone that would even consider voting for a Republican. He buys into all of the bullshit causes that are the bread and butter of his clan such as climate change and "voting rights".

I read the Henry Miller play "The Crucible" after a Dr. Loury mention. Likewise, Murray's "Human Diversity."
