  Can someone explain to me why so many of the hate-Willson
postings reek of this kind of profound ignorance and stupidity?
Obviously this Sam Southard is a spamhead, but it is usually
assumed something which passes for a brain is a requirement for a
school like Cal Tech.  I can only conclude that it somehow makes
people like Sam feel better to believe, contrary to any logic or
evidence, that Willson thought he could stop a train with his
legs. But *why*? Does Willson make these people feel morally
insecure, or what?
