Impressions on Brooks, Derb, and Sommers
Allow me to add a small note to my post below. All three speakers that I saw played straight to type. Brooks was good natured and optimistic. He seemed a quintessential suburban dad in America. Sommers was earnest and driven by facts. She must be an intense and difficult professor of philosophy. And Derb was Derb. Just the sort of guy a kid does not want on his paper root. Of course if I had a daughter about to become a teenager, I would not only be mean, I would carry a gun.
