Reply #34: This place is incredible [View All]

If any of you think that the deaths of:

1. John Kerry
2. Ted Kennedy (unless, like Bela Lugosi, he's already permanently embalmed)
3. Al Gore
4. Paul Wellstone (oops, he is dead, isn't he. I remember the world mourning, sort of)

would have more impact on the world, even if they all died together, you are sadly mistaken. This board often criticizes those who do not have an international perspective, those who feel that the local politics of America are more important than those of the world. This man, a great man (and I am not particularly religious), impacted more people than 1-4 above could ever hope to, helped defeat the scourge of communism, gave comfort and solace to the weak and poor, and generally impacted billions of people in a positive manner.

You can love him or hate him, but to denigrate the impact of his death is just plain stupd.
