Knowing Me, Knowing You

Last week's podcast of This American Life was another standout. The best line came in act four, from essayist Shalom Auslander*:

Here's the thing about people: I don't really like them. That's why I find racism so curious. There are so many reasons to dislike people - you're gonna go with color?

So I avoid the people whenever possible, try to keep my distance. It's really better for everyone.
