Just the open-mindedness (real word?) is refreshing in and of itself. Even if it is from 20-some-odd years ago. He doesnt need to talk about it anymore, its already all out there in the open. Judging by the things he said i think he would still have spilled his guts if he knew he was gonna run 20 years later. He seemed like a person that wasnt ashamed of himself; his actions or his views. I cant speak for what he would do now, but back then i dont think he would have given a rat's ass what people thought hehe.
