Is nothing private these days?

Relatives and friends grieving at a graveside, and somebody filming on their phone. Neither the time nor the place!

I thought both video's were very respectful, and a fitting tribute from his closest friends and former band mates

The music was fine. But panning the camera around where relatives were grieving was ridiculous. It was like they were videoing a birthday party. Camera phones at a funeral is just disrespectful.

Wow!  I don't revel in anyone's death, but am glad he's no longer on the Supreme Court.

He us considered one of the greatest judges ever to hold office, funny the way liberals and conservatives remember people differently is it not?

Stew, do you believe he was murdered?

Was in Monroeville a few years ago, the whole town looks exactly the same as it did the when film was set back in the 1930s

Umberto Eco, aged 84. 2016 has been a shit year for the arts so far.

[Hardy]

D. J. Crowley, Kerry midfielder. He broke our hearts in 1970 with a wonder goal to finish us off in the AIF.

[Canalman]

Umberto Eco, aged 84. 2016 has been a shit year for the arts so far.

Name of the Rose was some book , as was the film.

[moysider]

Yes, he was, seafood.

He had this crazy ideology called origination which went back to the constitution and what the drafters meant. It was really useful in cases involving modern developments like the internet.

But is that not what a supreme judge is supposed to do?
He upheld the right of people to burn the American flag even though he would have found it abhorrent personally. He had no problem with people holding protests. I think a local Methodist group held a protest at his funeral and he would have been ok with that. I think it is good that the supreme court judges are varied and independent thinkers.
