"Blood money" . . . "wholesale ecosystem destruction"

That's some righteous cause you've got there.

Dude, you know I'm just talking about the poetry and reverence that is dead in you . . . Plus, any man who enjoys golf can't be a complete materialist.

You don't see the poetry there? These are Epics in the ancient sense describing man's struggle to overcome, to dominate, to control. This is the very poetry of man's soul.

We agree on golf, which leaves me slightly out of sorts.

The poetry of the natural man, maybe. But I'm talking about the poetry of the better man; Abe Lincoln's "better angel" man; the man of Emerson and Wordsworth.

You're speaking of the man of words. The man to whom discussion and debate is action. The man of interminable meetings.

I'm speaking of the man of deeds. The man who creates and builds. The man to whom discussion and debate is an unneeded distraction from the task at hand.

Better man? Not hardly.

I'm not better off, but I blame my ex-wife for that, not Pres. Bush.

Let's make a deal: I will tighten up my grammar if you watch your spelling.

I did a search for teenager and teens and found nothing that fits your description.
