Ben is an amazing writer, father and husband, it is a privilege to call him a friend.
His patriotism and love for this country should be commended. There are many who could take a few pointers from Ben. You can fill in the names, but, I am sure I would agree with you.

I am glad a man with his sentiments gets national attention. We need more like him!

Ben Stein's diary is one of the main reasons we haven't canceled our subscription to that magazine (not that it's a bad magazine, just Stein is usually the only thing I have time or make time to read).

Ben is an amazing writer, father and husband, it is a privilege to call him a friend. Ben has given me more than a few chuckles, impressed me with more than a few quotes, and made me think more openly with his 'one liners' than many others. I'm jealous of you; because you know a man that I'd love to meet. Good for you!!

At the time I grew up, all I knew about Ben Stein was "Bueller, Bueller?" and Jimmy Kimmel. Only recently have I realized what an intelligent and prolific
career he's had.

Ben used to write about his visits to Mortons'.
He quit this awhile back and his final column
was a classic. He practices what he preaches.
Thanks for posting.

I remember him writing about his son, years ago in the old pre-Gilder TAS. He must be an awesome father.

But for the meantime, he has a lot of friends, does not smoke or drink (which I did at his age), does not use drugs... It's amazing that we've sunk so far that parents today brag about their children that don't smoke, drink, or do drugs. Thirty years ago, it was no big deal. Today, it's the exception, not the norm.

His essays are always wonderful. He expresses so eloquently what many of us think and feel. He appreciates the basic and simple gifts of life...family, freedom, and beloved pets, to name a few. Thanks, Ben, for making the world a better one for your being in it!

Thanks for posting this and pinging me.
I'll have to ask. How do you personally know Mr. Stein?
