^^Hey, I just stir the pot, I don't put in the ingredients. But Cooper also told Sawyer he didn't raise no fool, but do you think for a minute Cooper did any 'raising' of Locke?

I'm guessing now too that the woman who pretended to be Locke's mom was just that, pretend. Think about it, she said Cooper, which probably wasn't the name he would have used at the time of that con. I don't know. it's tough, I just can't see Cooper as Locke's dad, I believe there is a deeper connection here.
