He was also George Wallace’s running mate in 1968, 'nuff said.

Yeah, he’s a weird loser. But that’s pretty much par for the course in a forum like this.

You remember yours? This was all pre-internet, so none of mine is on record for me to review.

Do you still have your copy of _The Fountainhead_ with all the notes in the margins?

I have a soft spot for him.

I give him a tough time from time to time, but my hope is that the process works like this: He tries these ideas that he gets from where-ever out on us, and we point out our objections, and from this process he’s learning how to test ideas for soundness. That would be a good thing. In 5 years he may reject it all and be a radical leftist environmentalist, and in 10 he may be a damn savvy grown up.

Veal. Lots of veal.

He’s the guy that’s paying attention. Look, he’s _ **right behind you** _.

I’ve got at least one Official Warning for reacting to something utterly clueless that **Qin** posted. I thought he was just a troll for a long time, but I no longer think so. The kid has a brain on him, and he’s just exploring his boundaries. He needs to read a bit more widely I think, a bit more fiction?

He doesn’t need to READ any more of anything. He needs to _do_ something.
