Reply #2: I'm reading "American Dynasty" Right Now [View All]

Haven't made it too far in, but have read about the secret society. And the problem with orgs such as S&B according to Phillips is that they stunt emotional and intellectual growth into middle-age, when one should be above such immaturity. GHWBush played all sorts of inappropriate pranks on people such as using exploding chalk golf balls, and showed an inordinate fascination with childish games. This led to people rightly viewing GHW as not very bright or intellectually curious (sound familiar?). Kinda how aWol adopts stupid nicknames for people and so on. I really wish Kerry would just come out and say, hey, I was in college, it was a fraternity and it doesn't matter now. The fact these two are "blood brothers" is slightly disturbing, I agree. But still, I think JFK will be lightyears better than shrub. Let us all hope Kerry makes to to the election - ie, doesn't get "Wellstoned".

edited to add the sentence about ghw not being very bright.
