I could be wrong, but I think I can lay claim to being the first regular VC contributor whose offspring has started a blog of his own — my son Sam, here (and, along with his friend Eli Luberoff, here as well). [Sam's a good writer -- but an even better pianist! Or so says his proud father . . .]

Congratulations for having an accomplished son. Do tell him, though, that while it is fine to be a vegetarian, he should reconsider his intentions to contribute to PETA, that is unless he is willing to forswear for all time the benefits of modern medicine. Those benefits would not have been produced without reliance on animal research, something that PETA tries to prevent.

Mr. Post is the most stereotypical lefty on this website. What’s remarkable is that his son’s political preferences seem to be the same given his post on Climategate. Do left-wing sympathies run in the family or all American teenagers are brainwashed into environmentalism?

Do most lame commenters take their political buzzwords from the 1950′s or are they all just my father-in-law’s sock puppets?

Wow. Do you guys not have many children, or are all quite young? That’s the first? What is this place?
Two comments on the leftiness, though I don’t know how guilty DP is of that. Liberalism can be sustained rather easily with one child or none. Raise two children past the age of eight and a definite postliberal attitude sets in. This is definitely related to the comment at #6, where the fashionability of buzzwords has any relevance whatsoever. That goes away, dude. When words like “communist” and “socialist” get raised at all in political discussions, progressives snigger as if someone had been called a “beatnik” or a “hippie.” Same substitute for thought applies here.

Having looked at the blog, I would be interested in hearing young Mr. Post play the piano. Fortunately, I am posted in the same city.
