Absolutely. That Poli board OC a cesspool. I need to stay away from there, it affects my mood.

And you're right, it's the entirety of a person. I just try not I he judgmental. That's not for me to do. Most people have different politics than me (I'm conservative on fiscal and defense, liberal on social issues) but I don't like or dislike a person based on their politics. I've found that if people really want to find a solution, compromise can generally be found.

I also generally believe the best about people, and expect the best from them until I'm proven wrong. That's gotten me burned more than once. But it's who I am. I want to find the best things about people and focus on those things, especially once they're gone. I'd certainly hope than when I'm gone people will remember the good things about me.

So, I'm going to remember this man as a terrific actor who brought entertainment to the world. Through his gifts he left the world a better place, and that's all any of us can hope for - to use our God-given gifts for the betterment of our world.
