He has grown up to be an idiot. I saw him on Talkback live a few months ago arguing with Michael Savage (radio talk show host) about the war, and they were aguing about the significance of the war. Savage was talking about some things throughout history to prove his point, barkley was getting schooled, yet he kept saying "I don't care about the past", Savage replied back with "Those who do know hostory are doomed to repeat it" and barkley made the comment "I don't care about history, it's in the past, all I care about is the present". He then continued to talk about how history was unimportant. Until the moment I had considered Barkley an intelligent person, but now I know that's untrue. Only true idiots make that kind of statement - and the bad think is that the audience was cheering Barkley on.
