RIP

Barack Obama's grandmother died.
A day before the election.
Sad to begin with, but sadder still given the timing.
RIP

that was kinda heartless

there are thousands of people who die every minute. We cannot grieve every single one. Last month I donated money for a sick child and month before that I donated money for a cripple person.

Yet, I cannot bring myself to grieve over a death of the old person that I never knew and that never did anything major outside of his family. I am sorry, its not heartless, its just human nature. It sad how her death will be a big deal where it should be only a family matter.

well, actually, she did accomplish a lot of things in her life, like work up from a low position in the bank where she worked to become the president of that bank, a female president, nonetheless

But that's beside the point. I think that kind of a response to the news of anyone's death (unless it's a dictator and a torturer) is heartless. We all die, no matter if we are republican, democrat or independent.
