  • leonard,it changed when the devil invented american lawyers.

  • @davidka9 yeah,and man does he blow me away. i'm sorry,your claim to fame is;oh,i missed it,pitty.

  • @davidka9 Perhaps, but thousands of us love his books, his talks, and the way he puts ideas together. Maybe your books are better Have you written anything in nonfiction? Novels?

  • @davidka9

    Do you understand how ironic it is that you would make that accusation without qualifying it? Isn't a self-indulgent windbag, in this situation, someone who aligns their opinion with the way they want things to be (self-indulgent) and then expresses it without any examples or even a reason (windbag)?

    It would serve you and everyone else better if  you'd either make your case or keep quiet and listen until you have an argument to make. You know... like what Gladwell does.

  • What a self-indulgent windbag. As with Malcolm's books, "There is less here than meets the eye."

  • "Great composers borrow, genius composers steal!"

    I think originality is overrated. Interesting topic !

  • she could have asked his permision

  • This is a great interview already. Hell, I'm only 2 minutes in.

  • some very interesting words.
