The topic is your choice, but here are your options: Class, Race, Gender in America. Come up with a philosophical question around any of these hot issues. It is time for America to talk openly about the things we have always said or thought behind closed doors and among like-minded people. I know this intelligent group can handle this discussion.

Thanks for your continued participation.

The topic is local politics. You have two weeks to think of a related philosophical question. In the past we have asked, "Are the terms conservative and liberal still useful?" and "Why don't we care about local politics?"This topic generally brings out a large crowd, so we will meet in the downstairs area of Dragonfly.

Eileen Heaphy, member of the Stamford Board of Reps. will join us.

Thanks for your continued participation.

In March we will resume our local politics discussion with a member of the board of reps. She will help answer our questions.
