This show is for Tyler Clementi, for the people who love him, and anyone else who has ever been bullied or was once the bully and learned how much they could hurt people. The honesty and introspection of the callers on this show, which aired Thursday, Sept. 30, was remarkable.
I could try to explain Thursday's experience for you here, but could not do it justice. When you have a chance, some day this week, over lunch or while you're doing the dishes or hanging out by the pool, give this a listen.
Thursday's show did for me what many listeners tell me it does for them -- it offered an outlet, to let me think out loud, to work out my feelings about this horrible tragedy.
I want to thank the callers, who helped me -- as much as I may have helped them -- vent about this national tragedy, and in the end, realize that there are plenty of decent people out there.
Rutgers is a few miles from my house. Thanks for bringing this discussion to the air.
