For a good while, I've read his books. He is a rather prolific author, along the lines of Mark Twain - the dry wit with the cutting edge. You can't accomplish that kind of wit without a great deal of intelligence and insight. |
I am very much interested in what he has to offer in terms of alternative energy sources for the good of the environment. And as I look at his staff, he has young engineers on board from A&M, and he's willing to listen to the research about what we're doing to the environment. |
I'm, supporting him for two main reasons. First, I'm a lifelong educator. I've been in the classroom and I've been an administrator. And within the last few years, I have been concerned about the trends in education. We have tried to prescribe to teachers, in an insulting way, what to teach and what to test. And we're reaping the whirlwind in that our schools are declining and our teachers are burning out. |
