R.I.P. William F. Buckley, Jr
IP: 735C 87EC
Died February 28th of last year, at the age of 82. He didn't get a proper commendatory thread on RapVerse, the man was a true idealist, and even a bit of a radical. You'll find that he changed with the times, despite being an old-age advocate of certain things & rights.
Read a bit about his views on policies: Quote:
Buckley also participated in many debates on television which weren't taken into deep consideration on a wide viewership outside of an underground base of intellectuals, but his debates can be seen on youtube even now, if you so wished. Some of his more memorable debates were against those of the calm & collective Noam Chomsky in 1969, and is still very applicable to today. In the provided debate, both Noam and William got to express their ideas in a very friendly manner. It's almost hard to keep up with their expansive knowledge of history, modern America, and America's foreign affairs. Buckley's third language was English, which he learned at the age of seven, after already having learned Spanish in Mexico and French in Paris. His style of speaking became famous due to his awkward, almost profound collaboration of accent. My chosen quotes by Buckley, as they can be found here: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/William_F._Buckley,_Jr. “I will not willingly cede more power to anyone, not to the state, not to General Motors, not to the CIO. I will hoard my power like a miser, resisting every effort to drain it away from me. I will then use my power, as I see fit. I mean to live my life an obedient man, but obedient to God, subservient to the wisdom of my ancestors; never to the authority of political truths arrived at yesterday at the voting booth. That is a program of sorts, is it not? It is certainly program enough to keep conservatives busy, and liberals at bay. And the nation free.” - 50 years ago.;1959 “I get satisfaction of three kinds. One is creating something, one is being paid for it and one is the feeling that I haven’t just been sitting on my ass all afternoon.” “The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry.” - 17 years ago.;1992 He died at his work desk. A truly memorable, articulate political critic who at the very least deserves to be known by people on Rapverse. Enjoy that which is left of him. - 2v

someone who would make any New Zealand politician look like a wash-up.
Then again you're all messy;Don't bother learning a thing from this thread, although I know my assessment won't change the inevitable.
