Jul 7, 2008 - I never understand you people."Ugly people annoy me"You say that without having any videos of you, or your face. Little insecure are we?

Jul 7, 2008 - I think the reason people are being mean is because the speech was so magnetic and powerful that people want to burst the bubble of the "magical moment", for lack of a better term, and thus, are acknowledging that it was one.

Jul 7, 2008 - what about now?
Bklyn4ever Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - I know Randy and he is not a conceited jerk. He was a trifle arrogant in the way that many successful male academics tend to be, nothing more. But now even that arrogance has evaporated as he has neared his mortality. And to those who think Randy is an atheist, he is not: he believes in an afterlife.

Jul 7, 2008 - Does anyone if he's still alive now?
VeryFineWhine Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - I'm delighted to reply yes. He has an update web site where he gives highlights (so to speak) of his life. But most ARE quite high. Just Google his name and click the update page. Guess the last bout of chemo was rough and he's regaining his strength from that. But very much still alive thankfully!
joythemonkey Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Thank you so much for the news, VeryFindWhine. I hope it's not too late for him to try some alternative treatments that could boost his immune system to fight the disease. The conventional methods such as chemotherapy and radiation that kill body cells blindly would only kill him. :(

Jul 7, 2008 - now why did this become another political debate on healthcare? Drifting off the subject of the video, arent we guys?
ish90an Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - why should he? he isnt unning for president, its a lecture meant for himself and his family, its not a political debate FFS!
