R.I.P. Jerry
**edited 10:49pm**
I got in a rather spirited explanation this evening about the life and death of Jerry Falwell. Here's the thing, the most "righteous" person in America dropped dead. Think about that one. What sort of religious implication does this have? You would think all of those "evil" people should be eradicated by what Jerry would call a God-sent plague, AIDS. Those people are the ones he wanted to drop dead... and he does first... What does it mean?
I found myself desperately searching for a meaning for this sudden turn of events.
I'm probably making too much of it. It is probably nothing but a passing of an American political giant for the last 30 years. This man made me realize how important free speech is, and how many ignorant people are still out there. We as Americans pride ourselves in our diversity, but bigotry is still alive and well. If nothing else, this person got somebody like me thinking.
