His decades long funding of climate change denial will live well beyond his good name, which I somehow always mispronounce. |

A very old adage which I feel is apropos in the case, If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. RIP _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. |

Just because a person died shouldn't mean we forget the bad things they've done.

I find it sad that someone with that much power, influence, and money chose to do that with it. To think of the people he could have helped. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

I certainly don't respect the dead just because they are dead. I don't respect Epstein now that he is dead. I don't respect someone who committed atrocious acts because they are dead. They no longer get a free pass.
The only good thing the Kochs did was somewhat oppose Trump, but their version was not much better, and they still went along with him.

I think it's really powerful that the billionaire son of a multimillionaire died at the plebian age of 79 rather than using his vast resources to survive into his 100s. A real man of the people dying at 79 like he did. _________________ Under New Management |

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."

Kock dying makes the world a better place than when he was alive, so I will respect that. Otherwise, the act of dying is not respect-worthy. _________________ Courage doesn't always roar.
