Adam is a tough SOB. He is smart and can debate with the best of them.
Adam... what can I say. Amazing writer with amazing talent. One of the smartest, most intelligent writers here on Newsvine, and seeds some amazing stuff as well.
I'm glad he's around, without him we'd be one atheist down here on Newsvine :)

Adam is one of the most frustrating Viners to discuss with. Not because he lacks civility or intelligence, but because he is persistent and knows what he's talking about.
He is one of those opponents who you wish were on your team :-)
Adam Kemp writes some of the most intelligent and thought-provoking comments and articles on newsvine. Always bringing a clear light to a muddled argument, this man should be on everyones watchlist.
This guy will make you think. If you think not, think again. He is very good at writing thoughtful pieces that kind of get you moving. He makes you want to find out. Adam Kemp is the first author I have left a comment on his column page. I hope to do many more, but Adam got me started. Thank you.
