For people like Jerry Falwell and Tammy Faye Messner (nee Bakker, nee LaValley) I sometimes like to imagine that there is an afterlife so that they can learn how wrong they were. But then I figure that if there is an afterlife then it is just as likely that they were right, which would suck.
So, in the end I don't imagine it.
But rather I'll just say that Mr. Falwell, was a prominent figure in one of the last half centuries great malignant social movements and to the extend I am sanguine about any body's death, he'd make the list.
The several days of lionization on the theory that it is wrong to speak truthfully of the dead will be a hard pill to swallow.
