I certainly do. From time to time people will have reason to speak. I found much to fault his opinions--from a personal bias (as I'm sure he had subjective cause to fault with me)--but I did have a great respect for him. I never considered him to be less than a good and decent person.

It is good that this internet allows us to respect people we have never seen. It is good of you to honor his life in this way.

I have abused my body more in a month than he probably did in a lifetime. Perhaps I have lived smart in other ways. Or perhaps it is mostly chance and luck.

We have a moment. Right now I am drinking vodka and doing nothing for the world (although I am about to spend several hours on writing up legal arguments for my daughter). Neocon would have been doing something that he thought was meaningful to the universe. He might have been reading over Prufrock which he had almost memorized.

It is strange that I have posted here again. We shared a sort of estrangement from our peers when we were young. We talked about it briefly. It is a type of bond...
