Words of Wisdom
The most profound words you will ever hear thanks to Richard Dreyfus.

Re: Words of Wisdom
I saw that episode when it aired. He's a smart guy, a little too wordy, but he makes some great points.
Tom Morello was also on that episode. |

Re: Words of Wisdom
This is great. Not enough people come out and educate like that.
For the simple reason that it gets boring. We don't want to hear it. We want the theatre of hardball and fox news, etc... He's pretty close to dead-on here.

Re: Words of Wisdom
i was surprised how intelligent Richard Dreyfus is. politics now a days is all about what best for the candidates party, and not what is best for the people

Re: Words of Wisdom
I think I liked him better when he was a hopped up little coke monkey in the "Let It Ride" era.

Politics isn't much different than hunting sharks...

Re: Words of Wisdom
I do not think he is "wordy" at all. What he is saying makes perfect sense, IMO. I feel simplfying it anymore with easier words would work agaisnt his position that everything we hear is too similar.

He reminds me of some of my old college professors. He makes some great points, but after a while he was going in circles a bit. If he didn't have a time limit he would have gone on for hours. |

I think his whole point is politics and civic issues are over simplified. Using smaller words would just continue to do exactly what he feels is killing society.
