Just thought I’d put up a plug for a buddy of mine who also happens to be a solid thinker. You may have seen him commenting as Marc around these parts from time to time. He has a new blog here. I met him in college, and I recall he had a deep understanding of the issues back then. It must have been frustrating for him to be confronted by a guy like me – glib, superficial, and right of center. (At least economically – the conservative approach to social morality never held much appeal to me.)
Anyway, it should be interesting to see what he comes up with.
Appreciate the comments, Doug. I don’t recall glib and superficial being descriptors of you. I always valued the fact that complicated issues were on the table in our discussions. I always saw you as someone that wasn’t satisfied with the simple – and the hours you dedicated towards conquering BattleToads! confirmed that.
Once again thanks!
I was just talking Battle Toads with a buddy of mine yesterday!
Probably I’m just a bit scarred from this weekend when I was looking over some of the opinion columns I wrote for my high school paper. On the one hand, I was 17, so I should probably give my younger self a break. On the other hand, they strike me now as so trite and smug. (Looking forward to when my kids are teens!)
