Reply #17: there is a time

to talk about the poop of the dead. For many people that time doesn't come while the body of the deceased is still warm. :shrug:

I would NEVER say that any person was a 'saint'- not even Mother Theresa- but I would not bring up some of the issues I had about some of her actions and deeds on the day she died.

Death scares the shit out of people. It brings out some pretty odd emotions. Tim Russert is being used as a scape goat by SOME people here, who are just plain angry and scared.

No one is asking you to think Tim was a 'saint'- no one is telling you YOUR feeling isn't VALID- Your OP is telling those who feel Tim was a really good man, that they are wrong. They didn't do that- they were glorifing the life of someone who left this earth suddenly today.

Can we not give them room for that?

peace~
