Whatever happened to not speaking ill of the dead, and letting souls rest in peace?

I agree. It angers me when people begin to speak ill of Hitler. /sarcasm

"Whatever happened to not speaking ill of the dead, and letting souls rest in peace?"

While I agree in principle, I think it is also edifying to note that the way these persons lived their lives, and their very attitudes towards life in general were instrumental in their untimely demise.

I can not say what kind of husband Charles was, but had Diane not been off in Paris sharing her crown jewels with Dodi Fayed, she might still be alive.

Likewise, Kennedy, no doubt accustomed to have his way, made a hurried flight under less than optimum conditions as a very green solo pilot. Somewhere in his life, he had not been taught patience and likely lacked the humility to acknowledge his skills as an aviator where not up to the flight he was making. I've read articles about how his hurried impatience led to the fateful decision to fly himself and his wife that night.

Let 'em rest in peace. Fine w/me. It was this faux-''journalist'' who brought the names up again, true? In which case, if the deceased are fair game for the ''journalist'', they're fair game for all.

Right?

How can you make money off of your "friends" that way? /sarcasm

It always surprises me how many "friends" and "close confidantes" dead people have. And they ALWAYS speak the truth. *rolling eyes*
