My take on Trout (admittedly don't know well);
A guy that is stuck in worldly purgatory. Caught in between clealry understanding how to fit into normal society and obtaining the discipline and intellect to do so... yet entirely lacking the desire to conform completely. Everyone feels they don't conform.. a certain level of rebellion or non-conformity.. but Trout is truly an old soul that sincerely desires a uniqueness of self. I respect that.
And I submit that someone, like Trout, given an opportunity to represent us and serve at a high level, will rise above what we perceive as being different into something far different than we ever expected.. and it will be good.
I cast my lot with Trout.
Hmm.. how can you say whether that "something" will be good or bad, if it's gonna be so "different" and not something we "expected"?
