I do, however, find it quite amazing that even in death, that just the
subject of him continues to raise the ire of people .
It seems to me that there's nothing to be either gained or loss by
continuing any conversation either positive or negative regarding him
or the legacy he left behind.

It seems to me that it would be good for anyone who feels it's
necessary, to get whatever "feelings" out that they believe they need
to express and then forget about it.

I can't imagine anything more that could be said or done that hasn't
already been said or done.
Truly, an amazing epic.

It's over.
