Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

We've lost a lot of people, lately.
Leonard Cohen comes to mind.
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Leonard Cohen does not even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as John Glenn.

A stupid remark
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

I was not the person who first mentioned a musician in a thread about the passing of an historical American figure.

Seventy-two years married... survived by his wife! At 95 Glenn went out leaving us wanting more. (Disregarding that little bit of Keating nastiness.)

Glenn had a long life filled with many accomplishments; honorable service in WWII, Korea, as an astronaut, and a quarter century in the senate.

He ran for President in 1984 and I would've voted for him if he'd gotten the nomination.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.
