16. His thinking is as complex as a normal person though he stumbles on words |
|
to express them. The words are there readily available. It's the tongue that needs to relearn how to move without conscious thought and effort to how it's doing it's job.
Scott will be fine.

8. An impressive interview, in spite of the difficulty he had with his speech. |
|
He was articulate and knowledgeable on the issues. I hope he has a full recovery because I think we'll be hearing more from this young man going forward.

10. He's gorgeous, isn't he? |
|
Articulate (despite the speech problem), young, handsome, sensitive- and thoughtful-looking. I love him.

He's so fresh and engaged in spite of all his experiences. Twice to Iraq and a vet for peace and now a spokesperson for the OWS. This young man is a walking example of what will cure this world, if anything can.
