What I want to know is whether this fireside speaker is a protege of Hartman Rector Jr., because that would really impress me.

Basically I agree with you. My last line was sort of a troll. It's possible and really necessary to enlighten your kids so that they will spot such charlatans as easily as you. In fact, if you don't succeed with them that far you're done anyway because they're going to get exposed to all kids of bad stuff.
