Did you miss the young man's age "o wise one"?
Did you know as much when you were 18?
You now want him to spring into manhood knowing all the things that you
yourself are still floundering to understand?
Why is it that so many of you ignorant know-it-all rednecks are so ready
to shoot down everyone who does not see 100% eye-to-eye with you,
instead of congratulating the one who has experienced some new "light"
they way things are and they way they should be? Instead of being so
damned negative at WHAT HE HAS LEARNED AND ACCOMPLISHED, why
don't you contact him directly and give him the benefit of your knowledge
and experience to help lead him to new hights of knowledge and wisdom?
If you are incapable of doing that, why don't you crawl back in your hole
and shut up?
I APPLAUD THE YOUNG MAN FOR HIS GUTS IN STANDING UP FOR HIS
BELIEFS! I only wish I had known as much when I was that age! I also
hope he continue to grow in knowledge and wisdom and teaches his own
children well.
