William F. Buckley, Jr., R.I.P.

One person who helped influence my political philosophy was William F. Buckley, Jr.   Buckley passed into life earlier today.

It used to drive my brother “nuts” when I would watch Buckley’s “Firing Line” on PBS.  I only saw Buckley in person one time when he debated Zolton Ferency at the University of Michigan in the mid-1970s.  Zolton didn’t stand a chance!
