Perhaps I'm a bit more "soft" than you, but I'd rather obituaries or stories about the deceased be polite rather than an eloquent version of "Ding-dong! The Witch is Dead!" lest we forget there are actual evil people in the world whose bad actions vastly overshadow those of corrupt politicians.

- Qwertious 12y agoThere are more brutally "evil" people out there, who are morehands-on in the things they do, but they don't overshadow the corrupt people at the top of the US government, who are responsible for enabling, if not causing, millions of deaths yearly, and being a roadblock to progress. I agree that we should be "polite" in the sense that they shouldn't fling insults around like a monkey flings shit, but I don't think we should stick to euphemisms and lies by omission, just for the sake of not "sullying his/her memory". Speak softly, cleanly, and frankly, but don't be "polite".
