Reply #41: I'm the one who came up with that line

I wasn't referring to all of Bill's remarks, just some of them. For example, names: people have been coming up with unusual names since the dawn of man. Witness Cotton Mather, Learned Hand, Tapping Reeve, Prince Hall. All played a role in early American history.

I agree with you completely about walking the walk and talking the talk, when it comes to getting along in the world. Cosby's most important comments, IMO, focus on education.
