[lbo-talk] Tony Robbins, stealth intellectual (was, on death)

[Kent Smith]

Okay, I'm only pointing this out because I watched part of it, and Al
Gore is in the audience, and when Tony Robbins goes on about why
people fail to acheive something, and they give reasons or excuses why
they failed, and he asks for examples from the audience,he get answers
like "didn't have money, time, right management..." and Al Gore shouts
out that he didn't have the Supreme Court. Cracks everyone up.

I can't forget that Andy Teater's brother went to school with Tony
Robbins, and he said that he was a big dork that everyone thought was
super weird and beat up.
