There are many people on this planet who are brilliant, but flawed. If you disregard all the brilliance because you dislike the flaws, you miss out.
Tom Cruise has made some fantastic films. But Scientology...
The Scopes Monkey trial eventually lead to evolution being taught in (most) schools... but Scopes was apparently pretty okay with Eugenics.
Mel Gibson was Mad Max... But he's a racist.
Fred Phelps won some important Civil Rights cases in the 60s... but Westboro Baptist Church, wtf man?
Card is a tool in his personal life, and I'll fight him tooth and nail on those issues. I still loved Ender's Game, and I still found this article cute and fun to read.
