Great stuff about the post-9/11 world in which we live, too. He also brought up some stuff about the world's "haves and have nots," on which he and I probably don't agree much, but that's the beauty of agree to disagree. Geoff Tate = class act.

They will return to the good ol' American way in approximately three years, all contingent if we have a military. Thank you and as you were. Oh, no, Captain Oveur, the other courtesy phone. Rufus, I hope you have the chance to check out the Geoff Tate portion of yesterday's show sometime. He had similar misconceptions about the soldiers ... before he interviewed them.
