There are people the world would never miss, but celebrating the death
of anyone just isn't my cup of tea. I would be glad if he was
removed, but I don't think I would celebrate it like others here are
celebrating Falwell's death with absolute glee.


I'm not sure if anyone here has heard of the Japanese "Obon"?
But it's a annual tradition to honor the dead. Usually a big festival
and a happy gathering of traditional dance, food and games, but
the gathering is to keep the evil spirits away.
We also have a tradition to celebrate the death of one after a year
anniversary.
