When our consciences allow, it seems. That apparently varies from one nanosecond on the Breaking News FR thread for some, to waiting to post discontent about the deceased on an alternate thread or not at all for others.
It’s appearances, I suppose, that bothers me and a few others on this thread, among other things. Respectfulness of the deceased’s family, a desire for the forum to not be viewed as hateful.
You know...conservative values.
IOW we should be hypocrites and pretend we are really really sorry that someone like Mike Wallace, who literally made a career out of destroying other people's lives finally met his inevitable end?
Oh, I'm so sorry that this SOB lived 30 years longer than my father. He obviously died a premature death and should have lived to be 120. Of course if he had his way, he'd rather have watched our soldiers die at the hands of Taliban terrorists before they were old enough to drink than to risk losing a journalistic scoop. Spit!
Frankly if I happen to walk past the graveyard and see his tombstone, I suspect I will have an uncontrollable urge to relieve myself in the grass.
RIP Mike Wallace.
