That was a very kind and generous response. Thanks.

My wife thinks I’m fun. The kids aren’t too sure.

Not only was he a smart and first-rate advocate of classical liberalism and had a vast store of knowledge about the literature and history of liberalism, he was also a fun person to be around. I once went out with him and his former wife to see Dick Dale, “king of the surf guitar”, play live in Islington. Absolute magic. Whenever I think of R&R or surf music, I will think of Chris.

Oh, and he was a massive Heinlein fan. Most sensible people are.

I believe I would have liked Dr. Tame very much, had I the chance to meet and converse with him. It appears he had that most elusive but valuable attribute—moral clarity.

“Success to me is the freedom to create and to choose, to know when to say no and when to say yes, embracing, enjoying and absorbing all that life offers”

“We hold these truths to be self-evident …”

“Those who make peaceful change impossible will make violent change inevitable.”

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
