I don't believe in respect and decorum. I like expression. I like the Danes and their cartoons; I like protestors in the streets; I even like abortion protestors with their little dead fetuses- I just don't want them touching or blocking anyone. I think loud vibrant speech is fantastic- though I am still sad for people who react to free speech with violence, but not sad enough to limit speech at all. And Coretta and her family are liberals, and they are the only ones who matter- in this matter of the funeral. No one else's notions of decorum at her funeral matter a whit. You and I are both irrelevant on this topic, imo- only her family, and secondarily what she would have wanted, matter.

This was not a public event because first and foremost it was the death of the mother of the King children, and though Ms. King was political, her death belongs first to her relatives- so in that sense it is even clearer than the state of the union, which belongs to the country- this belonged to the King family.
