Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: does Dennis like young people; should a conservative who receives “welfare” repay the money when he can; does Dennis believe in an afterlife; would Dennis cancel an appearance because of a blizzard forecast; why do people believe in conspiracy theories.

Dennis asks his listeners if they share his belief that it’s a moral obligation to be happy. Callers weigh in.

The most important development of this year? The clarification of differences between Left and Right. Dennis elaborates. Ezra Klein of the Washington Post provides an excellent example on MSNBC.
