I choose not to bow to their knees in front of the funeral of the head of the most ferocious, bloody, and freedom-destroying organization that history can remember.

i agree with a lot of stuff you have said.
HOWEVER, "freedom destroying"? "ferocious"? we are talking about john paul II here- the guy who risked his life in the polish resistance to save jews and provide them with freedom. the guy who has travelled the globe trying to unite religions so as to create a more peaceful existance. the guy who was of paramount importance in the abolishment of communism in eastern europe. if thats destroying freedom then mother theresa was a satanist. sure, his beliefs are slightly old fashioned but we all have separate ideas of an ideal world. you sound like your talking about bloody hitler.
