SpeedRacer 1 #1 November 16, 2006 made at a college commencement address: ""Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it," he said. "Cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying 'yes' begins things. Saying 'yes' is how things grow. … 'Yes' is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say 'yes.'

He'd make a great neighbor, unlike Bill O'Reily. Most GOOD comics are intelligent. well grounded is another thing and subjective. as far as being a good neighbor unlike Bill O'Reily I think that might belong to the speakers corner.
