Mr. Robinson, I'm sure you know what WFB thought of Uncommon Knowledge. You've noted a few times how popular UK is with college students. (suprising?, I don't think so.) I'm certain that the Firing Line would be as popular with my generation as is your program.  

As a child in Obama's America (26), I missed FL when the show was still on but, I've seen dozens of episodes. What's special about  FL and UK is the long-form serious discussion where the interviewer shows respect toward his guest and v.v. 

WFB interviewed people with a frank and inquisitive conversational tone. Today,  we can only find that tone on UK; and maybe on BookTV's AfterWords.

The scandal-crazy media can't handle serious discussion.

Thank you Mr. Robinson for keeping Firing Line's legacy alive. 

**If anyone my age (or you old folks who missed it)  is interested in a similar tone with another host in our cannon, check out the Milton Friedman's Free to Choose series.

I haven't posted much, but I would love to join in on a Ricochet meet up. But, for a politically active bunch, someone missed that the CRP convention is next weekend in Burlingame! Anyone interested in a SoCal-up-in-NorCal meetup?

 The cops and pimps get rich; the whores get screwed and the Johns fund the whole thing. 

Fantastic.

Reminds of this joke.
