What Will You Say in 2030?
Imagine it is 2030. A youngster asks you, What was is like back then at the turn of the century? What will you say about capital punishment, the drug war, guns or why more money was spent on prisons than education?

What will you say about gender and class bias and the huge income and wealth gap between the rich and the poor? What will you say?
