He might very well be a fruitloop, but at least he's not a hypocrite.

Speaking fees :) Go ask if he'd be happy to not charge one penny for any speech he gives. He's an idiot.

More like a doobie short of a nickel-bag, given his hippie picture. :)

Apparently hair cuts still are *not* free. At least not till we arrive in the 24th century.

I got a free haircut the other day for St. Baldrick's. Unfortunately, you don't get to choose the hair length. And that only happens once a year.

They are in prison or the army though. 2 places I would love to send him.

Nah, that's a bit harsh. He just doesn't deserve to be taken very seriously, that's all.

How can you take a man of his age seriously that has a beard and long hair? What a complete know-nothing hippy twat.

Except for the fact that he charges for his speeches. He compares software to "free speech", so he's being a bit hypocritical there.

It could only get worse if part of his 'hairstyle' was a comb over. I simply can't take someone like that seriously since they plainly don't take themselves seriously.

Well to him, the entire fact that you earn money doing this means you are a money grubbing capitalist pig.
ragnaroknrol: Yes, but comparing a rabid wolverine gnawing on your face while stabbing you with a fountain pen to Vista is likely to make the wolverine look good, so it isn't exactly that big of a compliment.
