Sorry to go so far off topic but I loved your description of your son. I, too, have an 18 year old college freshman son and I find that I spend alot of time smiling inwardly. He doesn't sound so idealistic or philosophical to me, but he now loves to talk about what he's learned; he's so much more aware of how the world works, and his vocabulary has grown by leaps and bounds. His speech is filled with lots of fairly sophisticated words and phrases not always used entirely correctly.
(...of course on the other hand he called me today from a store in a mall in another state where he is visiting a friend just so he could ask me what size polo shirt he should buy, so he's definitely still a work in progress.)
