Let's put it this way. There's an old joke from way back in the 80s which most folks won't even know existed.

Who killed more Indians than John Wayne?
Union carbide

Koch thought that was quaint.

So just to be clear. You respect EVERYONE who has EVER lived and died?

I'll say this again, please read and understand. I don't respect Koch, I respect death in general. Koch and like are not on my respect radar.

Knowingly being a man who fought to change laws so he could have more money before he died.

Laws that he knew would lead to the whole world and every human being in it suffering faster from the effects of global warming and pollution...

Bravo.. This is worth cheering for!

When David arrived to the gates of Hell, the temperature was 124 degrees below zero yet he was still denying climate change. Upon his arrival, the Devil informed him that it was an old wise tale that the 5th rung was full and that his confirmed reservation had been held for over 4 decades...

More importantly, people shouldn’t suddenly decide he’s due some undeserved respect simply because he is now a corpse.

The whole “respect the dead regardless of who they may be” is mind numbingly stupid and is completely antithetical to the concepts of morality and decency that it foolishly and hypocritically tries to hide behind. It’s far more offensive than noting that a disgusting human being has passed and we are now rid of him, which is an inherently good thing.

I will not defend David Koch or his ideas, but, where I disagree with many herein who I often agree with, I won't jump on the bandwagon and stomp on his grave. Now I might want to firmly tap a bit (or even get a pile-driver), but I don't see the value in advertising this. It smacks of hate and hate begets hate. Sometimes what we want to say is best unsaid.

Koch represents the elite of the donor class of the Republican Party. I most certainly have no respect for this “Ayn Randian” philosophy, but I believe the best chance (not necessarily a good chance in the short term) to reach those who align with the donor class, who believe money and power trumps workers, consumers, and the environment, will never come with hate. We are seeing some separation with this donor class (the true elites), and their rank and file, philosophically. To see more separation, we need to help them realize how it is these multi-millionaires and billionaires care little for the rank and file beyond their value as low wage drones. To help with this, we need to show them something better.

Now, do I have hate for the Ayn Koch philosophy? Yes and then some. Do I have hate for those most deeply in-bedded in the swamp, who fund and propagandize this philosophy? You're darn tootin'. But tooting has little value, beyond, maybe, a sense of personal gratification or self-aggrandizement--which we are all guilty of, but should be careful with if we want a bigger tent.

Democrats don't like Republicans because they don't act like they care about much beyond their pocketbook, their own families, or those who look and act just like them. The Koch's epitomize this and it is easy to hate them. To many, including myself, their narrow self-centered view of the world, their lust for more and more regardless the cost now or in the future (even though it does David no good today), and their funding to assist others to share in these greedy and glutinous goals, is at the heart of the world’s problems. But these are the same problems man has always had and always will.

I’m not saying to give up. I am also not saying Democrats need to be passive and meek--when attacked, attack back. But we should be careful with initiating the attack, when there is nothing or little to gain. Also, we must learn better how to educate about hypocrisy or falsehoods without seeming to be pompous or self-righteous. Tending to be more informed appears to be a double-edged sword.

Since I mentioned why I believe Democrats don't like Republicans, and since I can never get a reasonable answer why the reverse, I think it only fair to speculate. Republicans don't like Democrats because we don't like them, and don't respect them. I could go further but I would be guilty of just the thing I am talking about we need not do.

No one asked you (or anyone else) to do so.

Nor do I think there is any "bandwagon".

I don't despise Koch even in death because it is popular.

I despise him even in death because he was a vile, evil POS.

Dying doesn't erase that (bleep).

Yup.

I'm not going to waste any time finding where he's buried but if I happen to be in the area I might stop by for a visit after eating a few bran muffins and $20 worth of taco Bell along with drinking a few espressos .

No one asks any of us to post anything. No one asked you to start this thread.

Beyond, you seem to have missed the point of my post, but no one asked me to repeat myself, so I won't.

From a Buddhist and Spiritual perspective

The Dalai Lama said that when Mao-tse Tung died
many of his victims shed a tear because he would not get to heal his Karma in this lifetime..

Can we rejoice that Hell hath taken one back.. to Hold it..

As One Humanity we know there are many Koch's among us.. no pun intended..
but we can express the Koch disease or keep it in Hell where it belongs

None of this both sides..
that guy knew he was terrorizing OUR Planet

As do most Conservatives now.. they know..
many think it is "End Times" rape and pillage X Revelations

Lumping such people in with the decent people who have departed people is actually disrespectful of the dead.

That's your opinion to which you are entitled.


You can call it my "opinion" if it makes you feel better. But it is a logically true statement.

That's your logic.
Show proof to validate it to be other than an opinion. No more opinion, valid proof.

EDIT:I don't have a need to "feel better."
Reference your post Fri Aug 23, 2019 11:42 am [b]Things that YOU thought were popular that now you think are atrocious.

I respect everyone who has ever died too.
So nobody in this thread disrespect genociners, rapists, murderera [b]who have died. Either!!! Some of us non savages respect DEATH!!!!
