Perhaps I’ve figured out the train fetish. Due to the diabetes, his eyesight has likely deteriorated to the point where he can’t see well enough to drive; but because he’s spent his whole life being such a prick, no one will give him a ride anywhere.
I feel sorry for him. I don’t think he has any friends.
It’s too bad that if he get’s his way, he’ll die in an overcrowded government managed end of life ward wallowing in his own vomit, urine and feces.
Well, at least in the meantime, he’ll get to enjoy some modern mass transit.
A very accurate summary. I would say also that he not only fails as FR material --- he is a socialist (possibly unionist) plant on FR. Having been outed as such some years ago, he stopped posting overtly socialist propaganda and focuses now on his other toy -- high-speed rail. He does not discuss that issue either: if he does say something, it is usually some cliches and snide remarks. The purpose here is to change your mind; like all good socialist, he works towards paving the way for more government.
He did claim once to be an engineer but, when challenged, appears unable to handle any of the material (e.g., mathematics and economics) that engineering students pass during freshman year.
In essence, he is a fraud, and a cheap one at that. He is now sufficiently careful, however, not to be banned. If your and mine posts spare some time of other FReepers who otherwise may be tempted to debate Willie, I'll be very happy.
