Not sure using an old drunk man is the best way to get the message across, but I did enjoy the conversation. It presents the reasonable perspective in a good, albeit ridiculed way, consider who and how he is saying it, and it was... long! In the end I'm surprised it kept the red thread and interest level high all the way too, which no doubt is a lot thanks to the occasional background distraction, and the old man's passionate plume of speech. Good ending too. Solid work.
