Geißler struck me as "old enough to say what needs to be said, consequences be damned."  There were times when i thought he was lecturing Merz, always with a smile at the corners of his eyes (like he was also relishing his moment in the sun.)  But even Beckmann, hostly duties aside, seemed to question Merz's capitalism.

I'm sometimes surprised that the US contains quite a number of her most prominent critics, e.g. Noam Chomsky. It seems just that most media managers are full of fear to risk to invite people, who are far off the main stream. Some of the stronger critics make kind of comedy - like a king's jester, who dares to say, what others aren't allowed to say.
