Did he pass away, or is the RIP a joke because anyone who says the things that he does will be killed?

I hope he didn’t pass away, I just watched a few of his videos on Youtube.

That guy rocks.

The sharp-when-new dagger of Cynicism is hard to put down once employed, yet it dulls very quickly and is not able to be resharpened. Optimism, of a practical honest sort, takes some considerable time to sharpen to an edge — yet it wields balanced and cutting like no other when mastered.

Wonderful and badly needed candor..... I wouldn’t sell this guy a life insurance policy though. I sure hope he does make it!

Nonsense.

Cynicism is disposable; optimism requires a fortress.

Nay, optimism — practical optimism, such as that demonstrated by Donald Rumsfeld — is an open field with any direction available. Cynicism is a swamp that traps.
