This is a little different, I think. This man was a key player in where we are today, for better or worse (in most ways media and societally, worse, I think)
I was completely appalled by the outpouring of chest beating, hair tearing and clothes rending when the likes of Princess Diana and Michael Jackson died.
But I do feel this is different. When Jimmy Carter passes on, I will not shed a tear. But his legacy lives on, and we will discuss it for a while.
I feel absolutely no sympathy for anyone on the Media... They self-agrandise themselves... They create their "own awards," They used to have the gall to call themselves "impartial and unbiased." They anointed themselves to be the "guardians of liberty!" (Huh!..)
One of these media people / group "decided" we the people should not know all the garbage that JFK used to carry on with other women... Somehow THEY DECIDED, we did not have the right to know... and a bunch of other stuff along the same lines.
BUT FINE, fine... some measure of respect should be given to those who die (in general). I can understand that Mr Cronkite (whatever) will be on the news tonight all over, and I am sure tomorrow as well, a little bit on the third day, but THAT'S IT!... That should be enough for anyone unless a VIP person to the country or world.
