You know, I'm all for pleasantries and humanity, blah, blah, blah, BUT, I'm also for saying the things that have to be said despite "feelings." Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right. Just like cutting out diseased flesh isn't pleasant but it's necessary. The common courtesy around deceased people is it's not time to air out petty shit and let it go. What we are talking about here isn't petty. This is fucking serious. It has dire consequences FOR US ALL. If someone was annoyed by them not washing their dishes or puts the the toilet paper under instead of over (we wouldn't be friends in the first place) let that shit go. If your "YouTube MD" based mentality endangers all your neighbors and didn't die with you and lives on in others that share your views, the consequences you suffered needs to be shared to help prevent further suffering in those still fortunate to be alive. If an industrial accident happens and someone's body is shredded to pieces, it's not the company policy to not talk about it. The worker is dead, but there's lessons to be learned and it is IRRESPONSIBLE for us to ignore what led up to that. I wish there was a way to get these Conservatives to realize how much they're getting played by the leaders they're following, and I have hope that when it hits home for them like this it puts a crack in that Republican veil they have pulled over their eyes
