Neanderthals did not. Our ancestors "adapted" - to change, that lives within the means available and works co-operatively against common threats per Charles Darwin.

Sane people want to survive, insane do not.

He was wasting it as long as he was alive.
And, no; I don't sympathize for his family.
I don't care about them either. They were ok with the damage he was doing. I wasn't.

"In June, when U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris visited Greenville to encourage more vaccination in the state, Stutts stood outside with a group of more than 100 people and protested amid scores of waving American flags and posters."

Now there is one less person trying to hurt my offspring, I am happy about that.

Your reaction is perfectly natural. None of us are saints. We do our best, but eventually our abiity to feel compassion gets stretched to its limits by people like this.

one of these days these tough GOP a**holes will realize they no longer qualify for friends of the FG's medical treatment (priority hospital admission, priority care form overworked and under appreciated nurses and doctors, along with access to the latest drugs and treatments); or maybe not. It's all about "personal responsibility" right?

Past caring or gloating.
