Considering his stated goals when founding Georgetown, it's almost TOO creepy.

I googled him after the show. I am surprised how many democrats supported this crazy man. Harvey Milk even wrote letters supporting him.

This thread may have to be moved but I thought of the same thing but more of his sheeple type followers that thought the ocean was going to actually lower and the world was going to change by electing one man. I guarantee, in 2008, more than 1000 followers would have followed him to the ends of the earth to find their Utopia, that is if their travel and food was covered.
