Falwell Dead at 73

[Aliantha]

I feel sorry for his family and those who loved him. I don't agree with his philosophy on life, but as Shawnee pointed out, he's dead so let him rest in peace.

Someone will come along and take his place for those of you so ready to dance on his grave.

Ah, finally, I get to Godwin a thread: would you say the same of, oh, Hitler?

I'd say the same about anyone at the time of their death.

Hitler is a historical figure and changed events in the whole world so to discuss him in a historical context to me is fine.

The same would apply to people like Fallwell after his family and loved ones have been given some grace by the greater public.
