Men or Boys?

The last review, sounds exactly like what Turner fought against, control freak zealots. He isn't mental, he is brilliant. In a media world where people like Rupert Murdock are put on a boat for a photo op, people like Ted Turner actually support the crew and stay onboard for the whole race, all 31,000 miles of it. Regardless of money my friends, that separates the men from the boys. Who would you want to be behind in the battle field?
