Reply #42: How the hell do you celebrate the accomplishments of a politically

[Sydnie]

active person without bringing up politics?

We knew her as an icon, a figure, a legacy. Most of the people that spoke today (blivet** excluded) KNEW her and talked about her through their experiences.

They did, exactly what you wanted them and expected them to do. They honored her life and her accomplishments.

And, by the way, one sister made her speech about never, ever, missing an election, challenging the mourners to never miss an opportunity to vote. But then, I guess she was just a political hack that shouldn't have been allowed to speak either?

Ok, it wasn't your cup of tea. No one made you drink it. It was HER tea and that's what mattered.
