I really want to thank everyone who has either emailed me, blogged or commented here on my oped from last week. Some really interesting and thoughtful observations. Much to reflect on.
This article produced by far the largest response of anything I've ever written. Most people agree with my analysis of the problem, but there are differences pertaining to how it should be addressed. As has been debated here (see Jay Currie and Russil Wvong's comments), some are less keen on "taking the long view," while others see it as an imperative.
I'm still for the long view, although depending on how much money can be raised and how quickly it can be put to use, I see no reason why we couldn't start seeing results by the end of this decade. That isn't that far away, really.
