There is a great book out there called The Davinci Method. It explains ADD and the symptoms advantages and disadvantages. Some of the advantages are tend to have a 10% or higher than average I.Q, visionary, risk taker, inventive, etc. Some of the disadvantages are dis-organized, messy desk, hard to complete things not totally interested in, think faster than talk or write, rambling, addictive, etc. Politicians, athletes, business leaders, inventors, risk takers tend to be ADD more often than not. Richard Branson, Leonardo Davinci, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Michael Jordon, yes even George Bush and Obama to name a few with ADD.
On I.Q. I don't profess by any means to be on the level of Tom and David, but I there is a chance they are ADD as well as a few others on MOPO. About 10% of the population is ADD and the other 90% don't understand them. As fully diagnosed with ADD, in fact in a year long study at the U of U Medical Center for adults with ADD I found the The Davinci Method book very helpful. Unless you are ADD or around someone that is ADD this is not going to make any sense. But I ask David and Tom to do a google search of Davinci Method and take the test. There are some ideas on how to capitalize on this advantage if you happen to be ADD. Hope this helps.

While they are often rambling in nature (I think it's because he thinks faster than he can type), there is always something to take from them if you know where to look. I have spoken to Tom many times on the phone over the years and he is a very smart guy with all kinds of info stored in the vast reaches of that brain of his. He is a loving and doting father of a very creative son and he speaks so fondly of him every time we talk, that is what has endeared me to him, not to mention he always asks about my family and daughters when we speak and remembers things I have told him in the past. Dave Kusumoto is the same way, he just has his thoughts very anally organized, just like me!! I love these two guys who, believe it or not, are very similar in their thirst for knowledge and their use of that knowledge. Both are very kind souls, and while it may "appear" that one is a crazy guy and one is brilliant orator, I am glad to know both of them and consider them friends.

Only certain people can see the enlightened being. To most people, he is either invisible or he appears as a wacky clapboard salesman. If anyone wants to criticize Tom, it is actually OK. Adversity only makes him stronger. Strong wind creates strong trees. I wish I knew what he looked like. I imagine he looks like a long-haired Peter Fonda, but that's probably completely wrong. -rk On Jul 2, 2009, at 12:32 PM, [email protected] wrote: I think Tom Martin is an Enlightened human being...possibly a Bodihsattva. On some days, I find more wisdom and knowledge in his writings (or, ramblings if you prefer) than in all other posts on MoPo combined. Who knows---possibly The Buddha is among us disguised as a movie poster collector named Tom. You may think I'm joking, but stranger things have happened on this planet. Keep posting, Tom. Maybe wherever you "are" is actually something to strive for, not to ridicule.
