What is it about the death of assh*le that brings out the philosopher in us? The man was a sh*t. Helms made no attempt to repent or feel sorry for his words and deeds. I have no pity for this man. I am glad he is gone. I think its funny that a few here feel the need to shame others into feeling bad for expressing relief at the man's death. KB -- I don't tell you how to feel, so you certainly do not need to tell me how I should feel.

Besides, what better day for Helms to die -- Independence day.

Since you quoted me, I have to wonder if you found my post to be such an admonishment. If so, not so. Read it again carefully. (It's neither grave-dancing nor finger-wagging. It's just some thoughts inspired by the other posts.) If not, OK. Doesn't matter much either way. There really isn't a whole lot more to be gained from this topic, most likely.

Sometimes a quote is just a quote, though I hear a Kubrick quote is worth extra points.
