Agreed. It is a good, thoughtful article...so even those who disagree with some of what is said may benefit from entertaining the perspective presented.

And while I agree with sled that our inability to "solve" the problem doesn't preclude having a discussion, I think AmyFB's post might be intended to encourage a different kind of discussion, and nudge all of us away from the BIG DECLARATIONS, in the vein of, "X is the only solution; everything else is wrongheaded and weak!".
