Trust me, anyone who has lived any part of THAT reality understands INSTANTLY what Bob Grant meant when he made that statement.

While I enjoyed Bob immensely, I would never, ever, in a million years take life advice from him. He was a supreme pessimist, after all. He was also a pro-abort and mainly because he felt that it limited the number of dirtbags in society. While he was an amusing character and right about many things, he was also a misanthrope and I would not follow him down that path. If poor life decisions led him there, then that's also on him.

*lol* Yup, I don’t think Bob Grant would disagree with your assessment of him as a “misanthrope.”

(You comment also reminded me of Florence King, who penned the “Misanthrope’s Corner” opinion piece in every National Review magazine decades ago, when it was still a reliably conservative voice......)
