re: #646 Irish Rose

I have to disagree with that statement, it’s very unfair to the family.

I watched the wake and funeral from beginning to end. Family members were discussing his lifelong committment to the cause of healthcare reform, completely appropriate since this was his funeral and that was a cause that he dedicated his life to. But they were not doing it in an exploitative manner.

Surely, you weren’t expecting them to not talk about it, or avoid discussing it in his eulogies?

Rose, read my statement. I am talking about young children being scripted to pitch politics from the altar. That is explotative on several levels.
