In reply to the discussion: What happened with Mitch McConnell is very sad. [View all]moniss
(9,085 posts)my take on it is to be more or less neutral in my comments about his health but I will say that I cannot be sad for that aspect of his life. My sadness about Mitch is that he never found it in himself to turn away from the cruelty and self serving grab for power that brought negative health consequences of far greater severity to so many than what he is suffering now. That he either could not see it or could but didn't care or cared about greed and power more is where sadness seems right.
I don't wish him ill or wish him really anything at all. It's too late. The life has been almost completely lived. It can't be undone now and time for correction in course is gone. I don't think about his suffering. I don't really want to think about him at all. I would rather think about and remember the people who suffered unnecessary pain and problems because they couldn't get the healthcare they needed because of him. I'll remember the anxiousness, pain and despair of spouses who held loved ones but couldn't ease their pain and suffering. I'll think about how those memories will live with them forever. I'll think about those things because Mitch and people like him will not.
