Edward Kennedy Dead at 77

[Pinky]

Actually, being apathetic towards death is the kind of nonsense that you want me to buy into so it would appear that you're rallying for a just cause instead of dancing around a fire with your enemy's head on a stick.

So...sorry, I'd much rather see a person redeem himself than see his existence put to an end.

EDIT: This isn't to say that I fast and tear my clothes every time a person dies. I'll just...never be happy that someone is dead. I don't think that's right.

Ted Kennedy finding redemption is a dream beyond hope. His family's fortune was made on bootlegging and racketeering, he was kicked out of Harvard for cheating, rose in politics due to the entitlement of his surname, and then there was the killing of the young woman at Chappaquiddick which itself would be enough to gain a long prison sentence, if not a threat of the death penalty, or at the very least end his career in politics had he been born anything but a Kennedy. But what happened? He was a Kennedy, so he went on to be a leading political figure now hailed for his heroism and courage. It makes me motherfucking sick. And despite asinine complaints from Rem I haven't even begun to talk about politics, which I very well could. At length.
