I always think it is a good idea to help people deal with reality--doesn't mean accept, but deal with--acknowledge, question, change, not change. I hope all your students know about how women's pay is 76cents on the dollar for men's pay for comparable jobs--that's real. As to capitalism. I talked about the simplest meaning of the word--cap[ital, not a capitalist system. Education all by itself is capital, the improvement of what you have. So is putting fertilizer on a field a form of capitalism. The difficulty of talking about capitalism is that the word becomes so inflammatory that it becomes part of a black and white discussion. I don't think that is necessary, in fact, I think a lot of care should be taken in discussions like this to really delineate what exactly we are talking about. I know I sometimes toss in remarks that go against the grain, but what would you do? Gotta keep talking. I like the discussions. Andrea
