----I don't care what Superman says, you don't harvest baby parts to further ANY cause.----

And I don't care how much of a Kerry Kool-Aid Kchugger Reeve was; you don't spit on his grave while the body's still warm just because he was WRONG about this particular cause. Especially when you know absolutely zero, zip, nada about what life must have been like for him over the past nine years. I honestly don't know just how strong my convictions on stem-cell research would be were I in Reeve's place, and neither, I suspect, do most of those condemning him.

Most of us will be fortunate never to know what it's like to live like a quadriplegic. Still more of us, thrust into that situation, would not be able to muster Reeve's will to keep on living, much less find a way to keep on working at the things we love, as he did. It doesn't matter to me that he was wrong about stem-cell research. I won't think any less of him when the MSM and the Kerry Kampaign start capitalizing on his death. He was still one hell of a courageous man, and he gave a lot of us a lot of joy when we were kids. That's what I'll remember.

You expressed my thoughts exactly.


I have only seen one other time where people posted such stupid statements about someone that had just died and then got nasty when called on it. I read that thread every so often, actually just did a few weeks ago.

One was banned but came back under a similar name I think, and the other 2-3 still post often, but I totally ignore anything they post.

It is sad that people attack Reeve about this yet we had people actually praying that Clinton would make it through his heart surgery ...and we all know that a lot of us despise the Clintons.

Too bad people didn't go by that old saying ..... If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

Perhaps he ought to consider changing his screen name. Unless this is what "Christian love" is.
