Great debator able to shoot verbal fireworks, smart mind and strong self-confidence, determined by cause but always fair by means, giving respect where credit was due, and unwaveringly denying respect for what deserves no respect, creative and original - non-conformist, self-reliant: our rotten, conformist, politically correct, intellectually submissive, modern time is in desperate need of good men like this.

I'd kill for his wit

The entire world IQ average just dropped by a 100 points and though he doe'ns believe in afterlife he's still alive, books, youtube and in nightmares of religius zealots
