Taboo Topics

I was part of a panel for a program called "Taboo Topics". The premise of the program was that the audience would ask the panel anything they wanted to, and we

the panel would reply. There really wasn't anything prepared in advance, and going in, I had no idea of what might be brought up.

Some topics that came up were dealing with the homeless, outsourcing services, irrational politicians, unsuccessful ballot measures, implementing change for the change-adverse and some other things I have already forgot about. There were people in the audience (the room was *packed*) who also gave their opinions (which in some cases was good and in others, not so much.)

Basically, I thought this program was a bit of a train wreck. No structure. And personally speaking, just offering up opinions without thinking about ahead of time isn't really my style (I'm sure this is a "green" thing.) On paper a very interesting-sounding program but in reality, not so much...
