Episode notes

I knew what was going to happen, but just the detail in which it was described was still shocking to me. And then when we played it again for the class, I was dreading that part coming. It was still deeply emotional. She says there's courage, but it's a virtuous courage, not like bad kind of courage. That's they don't need to defeat anybody to have a sense of victory in their heart.

David and Tamler are pulled into Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas." Omelas is a truly happy city, except for one child who lives in abominable misery. Is that too high a moral cost? Why do some people walk away from the city? Why does no one help the child? Why does Le Guin make us create the city with her? Plus, we talk about our listener meetup in Vancouver, and a new edition of [dramatic music] GUILTY CONFESSIONS. Note: if this episode strikes you as too puritanical, then please add an orgy.
