At the risk of pissing off a lot of my friends, Owen's proposal strikes me as tokenism at its worst. If we elites want to do more than talking to and emailing each other, I’d suggest that we instead spend some of our time doing something to help the sad state of education and the economy in NM. I don’t know how many of you realize that 75% of the children in the SF schools qualify for food aid and the district scores at the bottom of the state’s districts every year. The Alliance for Science has tutoring programs and some of you are judges at the Science Fairs (where there is still the need for more judges). We need sponsors for the Supercomputing Challenge. I could go on and on with other opportunities but I think point is clear.
I noted that Clinton won SF County by about a 3 to 1 margin. So if people want to have lunch with other kinds of folks, how about driving down south? An then there’s Texas.
