Roger Ebert a man of many words

This man is one of the strongest minded and most opinionated people on the planet Earth.  As on of the greatest movie critics of all time he understands underlying meanings and small details that make movies and even people great.  As a great man when you google his name you see Siskel and Ebert as well as his movie reviews, but as you scroll down you find an article that does not in title cherish his accomplishments but expose his current trials and tribulations: "Roger Ebert Cancer Battle."  A man with so much to say has lost his jaw and is unable to speak.  Yet even with the ability to talk being swept away from him he still is very much alive and well as he can still express his ideas and thoughts through paper and written post it notes. What would you say or not bother to say if everything is written or typed?  Would turn down the volume be words worth writing?  Or only your simplest and most sincere I love you.  Roger Ebert is a man in America who knows the value of words and the precious gift he has of expressing himself through words.  So for my humanities quest I can only wonder if Roger Ebert's ailment made him more enlightened about the world around him or has he drawn hope from his past or people of the past? The answer can be both as his ailment rendered him unable to speak and he became devoted to the idea of ideas, and it can also be because his past as a movie critic helps him crutch on the idea that your opinion is powerful and everyone deserves to be heard.  But who am I to force my OPINION on you? What do you think?
