Oh, him. The guy who tried to sue Mayor Koch for preventing him from
seeing his favorite hookers.
On many issues he was right on, it is sad that his positive stuff was
balanced with really bad stuff and driven by what seems to have been
extreme delusional thinking.
Not my type... Talked with a lot of people like that. Maybe if i go to
medical school i will help folks like that.

What was wrong with him, in your opinion? I'm
not seeing anything that needs "help" or is "really bad" or
"delusional." Suing the mayor was pretty delusional, but he had a point
to make, I guess -- which was likely that prostitutes are human beings
with right to ply a trade and the government is enforcing its own
twisted version of morality on sex workers when it criminalizes their
activities.
