Whenever I sense that all discourse in San Diego is headed down the toilet, which seems to be an increasing feeling these days, especially on AM radio, I simply go to a City Club of San Diego event to have my faith in intellectual discussion restored. I don’t know how George Mitrovich does it, but those frequent events involving business leaders, politicians, athletes, journalists and others, renew my hope that it is still possible to be challenged and enlightened in a civil manner.
