Is he actually a decent human, or is this more about talking a good talk?

Don't know but "talking a good talk" is more than Doug or Rob do.

Has pretty much everything publicly known about the man.

I might suppose that if someone had any capacity for introspection whatsoever, having your dad kill your step-dad would probably set it into action. It also sounds like he's avoided a lot of the Ford family influences since that time, so it's possible he's not doing too badly for 20.

I do wonder why he never once attended a debate or gave an interview during his candidacy for school board *or* council, though.

I have a friend who taught him in early public school. She described him as a nice kid, but not the brightest in the class. The interview is compatible with that assessment.

Funny - I once worked with a teacher who had previously worked in Princess Di's school, that's exactly what she said about her!
