Wacka Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Cummings should have quit and not died in office. He was using a scooter and walker recently. His health was failing. IMO, he might have lived longer if he wasn't so hateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sickening Well, there was a time I felt the way you did, but I’ve come to believe that the need to pay respects to someone simply because they held public office is unnecessary. IMO, many of these people work for one of the most un/underegulated ‘corporations’ in the human history. They come to live, breathe and work in their own interests as much as they ever work in the interests of their constituents, are extremely well-compensated in terms of salary, benefits and access to power. Often, when I look at net worth v. annual income, it seems there is a disconnect between what they make going in and what they take when they walk out. I reserve my moments of respect for very few in the political realm, and find myself much more impacted by the passing of folks of good character locally.
