Bernie is my old Madison high school track teammate. We ran the same distances, a half-mile and up; he was one of the very best athletes in all of New York City, I was a mediocre runner. We walked to school and back together upon occasion, but now we are walking in completely opposite directions.

He is busily promoting socialism, I prefer to promote freedom.
