Bill Maher's intelligent humor brightened my day.
In the early 90's I was going into a Dennys and had a newspaper. While waiting to be seated I glanced at the front page about the death of Thurgood Marshall. A man next to me pointed at the story and said, "Isn't that great", and walked away. I was stunned that a man was consumed with hate that he would say that.
David Koch and his kind hurt this country and planet in ways we may never recover, but I can't publicaly rejoice his death.
I am not sad, but I am not glad either. I don't think his death will change anything much. I tend to think it isn't a person who owns the wealth; it is the wealth that owns the person.
And as for pain, I don't believe in unnecessary pain.
A little overboard, but I'm glad also. Not surprised coming from Wild Bill. One more brother to go. Wonder what will happen to their zillions of wealth & gas/oil companies.
Just think of how many people appalled by his saying this think that he, and we, are going to be sent to a place of eternal torture because we don't buy into the whole god/Jesus story---no matter how good we were during out lifetimes. At least Bill Maher knows any suffering he may have had was temporary and he doesn't wish eternal suffering for him.
Knowing Bill I'd guess he does wish "eternal suffering for him." I'd wish him an eternal itch on a place he can't reach.
@ChurchLess : Well, since we atheists don't believe eternal suffering is a real thing, any wish like that would be nothing but hyperbole.
