Brat Camp Pulled in Canada?

<< < (2/2)

Nonconformistlaw:
He was a great journalist...remember his coverage 9/11 when he lost his composure as one of WTC towers (the 1st I think) collapsed live before his eyes (and ours)?

Gotta respect a guy able to be human on air like that...you dont see that very often...

I've respected him ever since. Yeah, he'll be missed. :sad:

Nihilanthic:
I think the really sad thing is he died before he had a chance to report on what we're doing.

Think for a moment... who else would do such a thing besides Michael Moore :roll: god knows we need HIS fat ass helping us out.
Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following
pages, are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them
general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong,
gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises
at first a formidable outcry in defence of custom.  But the
tumult soon subsides.  Time makes more converts than reason.

Antigen:
Well, I think Jennings was a lot more likely to do a piece on Abu Graib or Gitmo than WWASP or Sage Walk. Foreign policy had been his passion and his forte.

I'll miss him too, very much. Not only was he an excellent journalist, he was also a wonderful role model for unschoolers and drop outs everywhere. I hope that detail is not lost on anyone reading here who has had their academic career sidetracked by crazy parents and programs. You can be an excellent student and competent adult with or without formal schooling. The two are not really that closely tied.






The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason.

Yeh, I thought he did a good job, given the certain limitations that come from a major news network.
I particularly appreciated that he only drove used cars. And that he would single out the outsider at parties and engage them in discussion. Seems he never fell victim to the pretentiousness common to the industry which he had to endure in order to do what he loved. Investigate. Inform.

Anonymous:
I happened to see the Jennings tribute as well. I can't say I watched his news program, but he seems the type of man I'd admire. A student of the world, wanting to understand the place he lives-- sounds like a great journalist to me.

I found it very interesting, after his death, the amount of people registered to the stop smoking online course or whatever quadrupled. His death will save thousands I'm sure. Funny how things work out sometimes.
