Well, actually, I don't. I don't know of any high school juniors who write on this level, but maybe you went to a very special high school with, I don't know, Hunter Thompson, Tom Wolfe, and some other, similar juniors. But hey, it's your prerogative to find any excuse for not liking a writer. Pundits are a dime a dozen, and one does need some personal sorting mechanism. Yours, or so you say, is quoting from fiction. So, that would preclude your reading political essays by any author who quotes from Shakespeare, Dostoevsky, Homer, Sophocles or Goethe, for but a few examples.
