Hey, i'm planning a party when Margaret Thatcher passes. However i'll wait until she's actually buried before passing out the invites. 

You too eh?

I'm going to piss on her grave. Guaranteed. And it doesn't matter what security they put in place, I'm going to do it.

You rip the heart out of my country, I piss on your grave.

Not exactly evolved, as a response, but it'll do me [:D]

Can you imagine how long you will have to hold your piss in America, as you wait in queue, when Geo W Bush shrugs off his mortal coil? I don't believe even your Queen Elisabeth could hold it that long.

Thatcher's equivalent here would be Reagan.

You know.....trickle down economics....

I refer to "trickle-down economics" as "pissing in the wind".

Thing is, hasn't Thatcher's brain gone to Saint Alzheimer now? If there really is such a thing as bad karma, Thatcher got it in droves, so even I (however much I dreamt of it before) would refrain from dancing on her grave. Ted Kennedy is another matter: he didn't set out to fuck an entire country just for the sake of it.

I don't understand how some individuals get so hateful when people die - especially when the people in question have, all in all, done good things in drove. I think it's a reflexion on them, not on the people who died. Their hatred defines them. Unfortunately.

It was nine hours before he reported it so that is nine hours emergency services didn't have to free her from the wreck. Who knows whether or not she would have died if he had reported it straight away. All people have are his recollection of the events and how him and his friends returned to free her but couldn't.

To infuse Kennedy into the health-care debate, Democrats are planning to affix the former senator's name to the health-care legislation that emerges from Congress.

The idea of naming the legislation for Kennedy has been quietly circulating for months but was given a new push today by Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., the only person who served with Kennedy for all his 47 years in the Senate.

For too many people, both in the U.S. (and as we now see the U.K. as well), the Kennedy name was the absolution from being held accountable for their many unacceptable transgressions over the years.

It wasn't just Teddy. It's been over and over throughout the years that the Kennedy name allowed all of them to skate on very shady charges that anyone else would have spent YEARS in prison for.

Again, I see no reason to promote any member of the Kennedy family to instant sainthood by virtue of them dying. They've caused to much havoc and pain in the past too to many other families to expect to be exonerated of their own behavior just by virtue of dying.

There is a rumor going around that the Health Care Bill will be renamed the Kennedy Health Care Bill.

Do you think this move will drive the issue over the brink and sink its chances - killing it?

But Teddy? Absolutely. Not a monster. Just a very flawed, cowardly younger son of a clan that already considered themselves above the law, so it's not entirely surprising, although still reprehensible, that he acted the way he did.

What I said about Ted Kennedy was in response to someone saying that Kennedy definately did not murder Mary Jo Kopechne . I was commenting on a historical mystery, and simply shared my opinion that it indeed could have been murder.

You're literally bragging that you're "Not exactly evolved" (post # 72) and how you plan to literally piss on the graves of Conservatives.

So yes I do see the differences, they are very clear. The real question is, do you see them.

I agree entirely.

And, ordinarily, I wouldn't.

But, in Thatcher's case, I'm going to make an exception.

Imagine if Hitler had lived on. Similar deal [:D]

But Teddy? Absolutely. Not a monster. Just a very flawed, cowardly younger son of a clan that already considered themselves above the law, so it's not entirely surprising, although still reprehensible, that he acted the way he did.

PS: Thatcher didn't do anything good "in drove"

Yeah. Well put. As I said in another post, Bobby was the only one in the entire family who was worth a damn, and many's the time I wonder wistfully what direction our country would have gone had he not been shot and Nixon not elected.
