Falwell

What to say? Obviously sympathies to those who cared for him. Many undeserving people have good people around them. It's hard to have sympathies for those who fault other victims for their tragedies. As he said of AIDS and AIDS victims:

AIDS is the wrath of God upon homosexuals.

And:

AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.

He lived a decent-length, if not long, life. One hopes he finds that his God is a more forgiving being than he believed.
