McC would clean up on the talk-show / book-writing circuit.

Like I posted before, I'm really starting to believe that most FReepers live in a dream world. Have you ever done any public speaking or organized a road show? Have you ever written a (non-self) published book? Do you think you just set these things up and the money starts to flow?

Take it from someone who has done both and knows how hard the game is. One has to give Arianna some credit with what she's pulled off, but then she's a pro.

McC is a duffer who has spent his entire working life in public office. Mark my words, this episode and the resulting recriminations will ultimately make your favorite martyr a sad footnote.

Yes, I have done public speaking, and no I don't think that these things just set themselves up. Nowhere in my statement are any assumptions that this would magically happen. You extrapolate from your difficulties to presume I am ignorant. Try again.

Fortunately, I don't live in the same cynical and dingy rathole reality you seem to live in, nor would I see any reason to move there. It's the lack of vision thing all over again. Even if he was a martyr, the truth is spread through the testimony of martyrs.
