"I always wanted there to be a day that was just about debates and celebrated debates. Conflict isn't a pejorative. It's not a bad thing inherently. We have to learn to live with conflict, debate, and argument in a way that advances all of the ideas and confront the problems that we have to face," said Scott Lewis, editor in chief of Voice of San Diego.
