TED Talk Tuesday: Mark Sandel

TED Talk from Michael Sandel on The Lost Art of Democratic Debate.  Very few people could get a group of 1000 people to debate topics from flutes to golf carts to gay marriage.  Dr. Sandel does an amazing job. I think that I would love his class.

Our nation has shamed the art of debate.  We just yell at each other.  The toughest decisions and complex problems will never be solved through talking points and punditry.  We need honest debate and honest dialogue.

Here's the Talk
