...Dreyfus wears a tie-dye shirt, a pony-tail, and has that distinguishable awkward feel to him that only a gifted science student could possess. Most importantly, however, he rocks back and forth with his torso, constantly gyrating when searching for an answer and sometimes even stops the tape to ease the pressure that seems to come out of nowhere. His answers are never immediate, but when they are uttered they are shot out at rapid fire, so fast the answers are sometimes confusing.

...expectations are unreasonable-if there can no longer be Big Men or Women On Campus-then surely those seeking leadership should somehow compensate for their lack of pre-existing popular support.

And never underestimate a child's ability to master the Pokearcana required to accumulate such power: the ease with which they slip into cunning and thuggery can stun a mergers-and-acquisitions lawyer. Grownups aren't ready for their little innocents to be so precociously cutthroat. Is Pokemon payback for our get-rich-quick era--with our offspring led away like lemmings by Pied Poke-Pipers of greed? Or is there...
