“Yep, I’ve read his columns on the topic. Fred is a pretty sensible guy, for the most part.”
I used to read Fred years ago but it became obvious that he
has a real hatred of America. It doesnt come out often but its there. He is a very entertaining writer and I like his style. On social issues he really lays the truth out and pulls no punches.
I think that he hates what America has become. That, and he's written about being nearly blind because he picked up a load of shrapnel in his eyes in Vietnam. I'm guessing that he's a little bitter about that.
But, he's led an interesting life. I like some of his old magazine articles, particularly the ones where he wrote about Soldier of Fortune. He wrote a book about SoF but couldn't sell it. All of the editors thought that it wasn't believable enough....problem was the stories were all true....
Fred, sez me, would be an interesting guy to drink a six-pack with.
