*RIP* Tony Snow - Aged 53

I Agree

Thread is becoming rather unseemly, and should just be allowed to scroll into eternity.

Must so though, have noticed a decided trend lately where perfectly innocent subjects turn into shouting matches.

And furthermore, if one examines many of Mr. Snows comments both before and after he took the White House position, he was NOT always a huge fan of everything President Bush did, and or polices that came out of the White House. The man like the rest of us was hired to do a job, and he did so. When one has mouths to feed and such, one does not walk into one's employer's office and tell them where to get off.

The man isn't even in the ground and all some can talk about is what he did or didn't do. Well excuse me, but hardly think any of us here would welcome the thought of persons standing over our barely cold bodies pronouncing their opinions of how we lived our lives/things we had done.

There is that old saying about persons living in glass houses, not going around casting stones (and or dispersions). So unless anyone has lived a total blameless life, I say zip the lip; that's what say.

I must say

in defense of Keven, I understand his political views.

Working in government I see people sell their soul everyday for a political machine.

That is what Tony Snow did.

I am sorry he suffered and died of cancer. It had nothing to do with his career.

Look at his agenda. He choose the dark side. That was his work choice and political beliefs.

It will take decades to repair the damage this administration has done. If it can be repaired.

To the little old lady types that want to hush Keven you had better think about the nice little old ladies that thought Hitler was doing a good service for Germany.

"Yes keep everything kind and respectable, we don't want to offend the Brownshirts"

Offend them I say.

And my condolences to the family of Mr.Snow.

Greg,

You said it so much better than I was able to. Rich, I meant no offense to you, truly not.
I suggest we just let this one go. I reject, firmly, the concept of: de mortuis nil nisi bonum dicendum est. Many here, do not.
Fine. We are never going to agree, so pray accept my apologies to those who are genuinely offended.

Panthera, I didn't know you were so mean!!

I just hope you are not like one of the instructors I had for heaing and air conditioning who had at least an outburst a week in class. He might know about his field, but I would Never let him in my house!. And no, I don't know the Latin you quote but I am surprised that an educated man swears. I just hope you are not training young minds to be obnoxious!
