1. What struck me most was about 3:00 where he describes wingnuts,

uncomfortable with any deviation from dogma.

[Voice for Peace]

2. this is such an intelligent and even profound interview

how he came to his conservative beliefs; how he stepped back
from them and began to examine his own thinking; how
narrow and gnarly and angry the conservative bubble.. what
a great segment. thanks! He'll be a guest on Bill Maher I bet..

3. He's gonna write screenplays???

What a waste. (I used to work in the movies so I can say that)

Why doesn't he do a science. He'll really learn how out of touch Repugs and conservatives are. Much more than with philosophy.

5. Maybe he'll end up doing both

4. Atlanta's talk radio is onesided for sure ...

I live in Atlanta as well, and found that his statement about getting his ideas from talk radio interesting. Especially for a young guy, at the age of 13. Every left wing radio station has failed to pull in the advertisement dollars, I presume, to stay on the air. Even if they do get a left wing radio talk show up and running, their signal only reaches just so far and if you live, say, 35 miles out of Atlanta .. forgetaboutit. I am very lucky to have my XM radio and so I get just about every 'left' talking head. So this kid has been listening to Limbaugh, Hannity, and Neal Boorzt on WSB, huh? Not many kids his age are listening to talk radio .. or what do I know?
