Walter Lambert
Yes, my 11th grade US History teacher. I emailed him to ask him why he made us read Walden II and naturally he replied within the hour. He said he believes partially in determinism (which is what everyone believes). But it was still nice to get an answer from him as to why he made us read. He said it was to get us thinking about determinism or at least the way environment, etc. affect us. It sucks that he isn't a teacher anymore. He's really quite amazing.
