This episode was first broadcast June 12, 2005. Social Justice and diversity get an early mention in this episode. Keith Thompson’s interview is all about leaving the left a long time ago. He talks about rejecting the term “Social Justice” because justice is always social!

The featured interviews are with La Shawn Barber and Keith Thompson, and of course we have the Full Of Crap report from Laurence Simon.
