> Yet in the end we still lost a great person doing good things on behalf of everyone. Life is weird that way, it's not all black and white. This seems an odd way to put it. Yes, people are full of contradictions we'd rather didn't exist, and politics especially seems to bring them out. The examples are endless, from great artists who are racists to religious leaders who make powerful social contributions but also molest children. One might equally say that "evil people can do beautiful things" or "great people can make poor choices." Either way, we're just fighting the cognitive dissonance of the two things co-existing when we wish they didn't. Which actually seems pretty black and white to me, and not weird at all.
