Were there ever really students or others who were enamored of B. F. Skinner? I look at the other philosophers and can easily conceive following them, but B. F. Skinner? You can tell that I see Skinner almost as a different kind of creature, an unrelated human nature.

Oh, come off it, DWill, aren't you exaggerating? Skinner made his own kind of contribution to the ways we can view human nature.

Really? I've got some Missouri in me, so I'm going to have to ask you to show me!

Thanks.
