agreed with the partying. I have found the opposite to be true, most people found it to uncomfortable at least. Both in RL and reading around the web, nearly everyone I read, in comments or spoke to, wondered why this was worthy of celebration. And most americans have been raised with the idea that once someone is dead, they should be left to god, whatever their faith may be.

So, actually only a small number of Americans seem to feel the need to celebrate which places Sirota in line with a majority of Americans. Even my Repub friends and relatives found the celebrations 'unseemly'.
