Olympus and I hang out in the gutter in Athens. Just trying to point out that whether or not a like someone rarely has much to do with their politics).

Habitat's the first thing that really made me think well of him - he did it way back when, and it was the most humble thing for a former head of state to be doing. The depth of his involvement at all levels - including literally rolling up his sleeves stood out to me even when I was a kid.
Most of my friends have viewpoints different than my own.
