it would be for him to confine himself to that subject. I really miss his voice in the discussion of current events. As far as I'm concerned, no one comes close to matching his intellect and commentary regarding political and social issues. I think the reason he's so good at it is the same reason he's left or been fired from so many positions. He refuses to cater to or compromise his principles for the corporate hierarchy controlling our media.
