Evil is evil. Don't care which side they are on. I'll call it as I see it. I couldn't care less what you think. They can tell me to burn in hell, too. Doesn't bother me one bit.

A member of Congress has died. A disease my family has its fair share of. A disease I'm likely to experience given my family history. I'm not going to celebrate a death given I'm likely to go down the same road. No politics. Perhaps members here might want to think things through. Politics is not that fucking important to what really matters.

You want a medal?

No, a parasite has died.

And, you think your family is the only one experiencing cancer?

No. Just stating some things are above politics. Family considerations, and health and well-being take precedence.

You react to this how you want, and others will do the same. You don’t preach at us and we’ll show you the same consideration.

I'm in the minority, agreeing with goose5.

She is no longer in Congress, and that's a good thing.

I'm satisfied with that, and I see no reason to dance on her grave.

I understand that my body is a holy temple. I once had a hemorrhoid that was a part of that holy temple. Nevertheless, I celebrated its departure on account of it being a huge pain the the ass. I guess I classify Ms. Jackson as the same.

You guys are barking up the wrong tree. I’m not going to pretend I’m not glad she’s gone.

And, I'm gong to say I'm sad another person has left this Earth. That's just the way I am.

Who’s preaching at you?

No one that you've ever heard of.

What are you talking about?

Cancer. Death. Compassion. I have to explain what I'm talking about?

goose5, by your logic, you’d mourn the passing of Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin…Jeffrey Dahmer, Timothy McVeigh…

These people all had family…and family that probably loved them.

Evil comes in all forms, even those that profess to be doing the Lord’s work.

She was loud, but I know there are worse political people in this world. Quite a few, actually.

Now you’re really gonna piss me off. I asked you who’s preaching at you and you gave me a vague answer to my question. I want a direct, actual answer.

Compassion. Is it possible anymore?

I don't know what the fuck you what from me. This is the second time I've really pissed you off in the last 6 months. How about you tell me? Is compassion an out of date notion? Is cancer an idea that's out of date? Pancreatic cancer is one mother fucker of a situation that I don't want any part of. So, what are you talking about here?

I’m dealing with a power outage, typing on my phone. When I get this corrected you can bet your bottom dollar we’ll get this straightened out. Count on it.
