    This is a well written article on the man that is "ohh myyy!" There is a lot to this man's history and a lot that he is involved in today. I follow his Facebook page and, while I don't necessarily agree with everything he stands for, I do enjoy his sense of humor as well as his dedication to his fans.

    Well done, Hermanator!

    George Takei is the kind of person I believe we can all learn from: the level of hardships he has had to endure, yet he still maintains a largely positive message for groups and organizations that has helped fuel those hardships. To be so vocal about Scouts, despite their stance on homosexuality, and to be so positive about the United States while his family has been thrown into an internment camp (Critical,. but the message is still positive), takes a very special kind of person.

    And to top that off with a downright terrific sense of humour? Yeah, he's a celeb I'd love to sit down with and have a beer while discussing everything from theology to politics.

    Great article Herm!
