  Yep.  Simplistic.

  His regard for peoples' opinions in here tends to increase where there's
agreement and decrease where there's disagreement, as well, seemingly awfully
independent of whether or not the disagreement is a reasoned one; to disagree
with Frank, no matter why, tends to bring out the "nyah-nyah I'm better than
you" side of him.

  Which is simplistic AND childish.

  I'd love to see the public exclosure documentation detailing the requirements
and prerequisites for the position he holds on the governmental dime (you know
- the golden parachute style compensation package with no relevence to the
private workforce that I help pay for while living in the real world with
realistic wages and a pathetic excuse for healthcare options that it doesn't
sound like he's ever had any kind of experience with at all).  

  I have a feeling that independent thought is less of a priority than the
ability to loyally process, separate, and regurgitate information which is
something I'm not terribly pleased to help subsidize.
