meh we don't even know what the guy is really like behind all the smoke and mirrors.
I liked the guy but he was only human. I don't we should idolize the guy as some sort of mythical hero who we tie so many good things to that to insult him is somehow insulting an idea more than a person. He was a decent dude, but he wasn't Jesus. His death is tragic, but the guy was like 94. He lived a full, good life. certainly a fuller life than 99% of the population of the earth will ever live, and in splendid luxury. I don't think he gives a **** what we think about him. He did ban the importation of semi-automatic rifles in 1994, he tore up his NRA membership card, I believe he also had a hand in NAFTA that ****ed over our manufacturing industry. There was also that rumor about him and heather lind.
You know something? Most of us don’t know what you are really like either. But If you were to pass away tomorrow, and some body posted it here on OSA, I bet that the vast majority of us would be decent enough to at least post something like a simple RIP. But if we didn’t do that, we’d probably at least have the decency to not say something unfounded or negative or to bring up some long forgotten “rumor” which serves no purpose.
Threads like this always amaze me. But they also embarrass me, because as a member of this group, I feel tainted by and am ashamed of some of the comments I’ve read here. A former War Hero, President, and the father of yet another President dies at 94, and some people just seem to feel a need to display their indecency. And some just don’t know when it’s time to stop talking before they prove what many others already suspect.
