Best insight from the article:

    If you resolve that something isn’t cool, it doesn’t take long for it to impact the circles you run in. That circle reflects who you are but also leaves impressions on you. If you do not impress on it, it will impress on you.

And the funniest line:

    Look, I am always touched when a straight, white American male is not offended by something, but maybe we are forgetting what it is we are doing.

Also, Magic is an awesome game and I can't believe I traded my Power 9 in for a month's rent in the 90's when everybody I knew stopped playing and I figured I'd never pick up the cards again. That's like selling Apple stock when Jobs came back on board :p
