I have never read your messages before sir. However, after reading this message I can only say that you seem to have embraced a cruel and sad interpretation of this world. You have enjoined to rejoice at the demise of a man who defended others’ freedoms, and who did what he thought best during a hard time. Even Gorbachev, a man who Reagan taunted with such words as "Tear down this wall!" had nothing but respectful words to say of him. For you now to post such invective, while it is your right, demonstrates that you do not understand the responsibilities that come with those rights. May you live long enough to regret your abuse of the dead, and to learn to respect those who have passed before you after living to the best of their ability while they had the time.
