Powerful words
Realize that life is to be lived to help others is the only thing that matters and that it is our duty, in return for the lavish life God has devolved upon us, to help others He has placed in our path. This is our highest and best use as humans.
Does he have a son that is a liberal moron?
Correct me if I am wrong.
Good job Ben.
Ben Stein is a man to be admired for taking a stand when the other "Hollywood elite" would turn up their perfectly sculpted noses at praising the real heroes of this world.
While I know all of Ben's writings are wonderful, this was printed on E Online December 20, 2003. The header is a bit misleading and without a link folks might think Ben is ceasing to write but point in fact he chose to move on from his "Monday Night at Morton's."
..hence the part 'I did it moderately well with my son...'
Bravo Ben, he truly knocked this one out of the park. He underestimates his own writing abilities though. I truly wish the whole country could see the world through this article if only for a few minutes to put things in perspective.
I always wondered if anyone in Hollyweird "got it", but then, Ben Stein lived in the real world before he got to Hollywood.
Thanks to all who serve to make our lives safer and better. Thanks to Ben Stein for pointing them out.
God, I almost had a heart attack. I interpreted the title to mean LAST column.
This is magnificent. It is not an opus, but rather an Overture to the opening of a glorious new chapter in Stein's life.
I'm left humbled.
God Bless Ben Stein.
My son "turned me on to" Mr. Stein when he was 15 or 16.
I've always liked he guy since.
I've always suspected Stein is a real human being...this proves it. It's nice to know everyone in Hollywood is not a jerk.
Hope he influences some of them for the better.
God Bless Ben Stein.
My son "turned me on to" Mr. Stein when he was 15 or 16.
I've always liked the guy since.
This column is over 2 years old and you posted it without so noting, and with the title "Ben Stein's last column?"
Your posting privileges should be revoked.
This comes awfully close to being a fraud!
Ben's son is currently in boarding school. A wonderful young man that does his parents proud.
While I agree with you, look to comment 3 and 8, folks sure love to read Ben's essays. Yes, this one is old, when it was posted the other time, it had a misleading title, which implied Ben no longer would be writing, yes he was ceasing to his articles for E Online but still is writing, you can find his writings not only on Ben's personal site but he still writes for American Spectator.
Again, the link should have been posted. As I did earlier, had it been with the correct date it would help the reader.
I do not think the intentions were bad, I have posted a duplicate in my time. But, if you put Ben Stein in the search many of his threads on FR can be pulled up.
