    Thanks Inc! He certainly was thought provoking! Ah well, I guess like Kerry Packer he is now able to put all his theories to the test!

    A very different persona to his brother Peter who is quoted as saying

    "... Is there any point in public debate in a society where hardly anyone has been taught how to think, while millions have been taught what to think? Sometimes I wonder..."

    On this point I suspect both would have agreed in that they were/are very independent thinkers ... a veritable "Ying & Yang" in the one family!

    Always enjoyed and benefited reading and listening to him, didn't always agree (but did plenty of times) but when I didn't it was still compelling.

    I first came across him giving Mother Teresa a serve, followed him ever since.

    It's a great loss. Everyone should read "God is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything". Great title and great book.
