And thanks to you, Rob Ingram, it was an honor to have you and our other guests on the show. I only wish we could have had another hour (at least)!

I'd like to thank everyone who commented today. As Emily mentioned at the end of the show, we didn't get to very many of your comments. I'd also like to point out our commenting guidelines for newcomers who may not have had a chance to read them. We very much value the diversity of views expressed and — as you'll see if you read them — they are designed to facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences. Snide or snarky comments and name calling (either directed at other commenters or the TOL staff) does not do this. I believe this is rare in general on our site — let's keep it that way!

And again, thanks to all the listeners who take the time to leave thoughtful comments to create engaging dialogue — you rock!

Thanks so much for those suggestions—we're actually working on a special project on homelessness. I'll make sure that Producer Julie Sabatier sees your post!

Allison Frost, Managing Editor/OPB News here. I'm posting this on behalf of our former boss, Pres. and CEO Maynard Orme who is listening to this great show. He's not by a computer, so he asked me to tell you about 15 years ago OPB produced a great TV doc called "Local Color: the history of racism in Portland." We've aired in many times over the years and it could be time, he suggests, for another airing. I just spoke to Program Manager Mary Gardner and she'll be taking another (fresh) look at it after hearing Orme's comments. She also tells me the doc is being used in Portland Public Schools.
