For me, Teddy's death kind of brought home my own hypocrisy. Because I was sick of all the haters bringing up the bad when he did so much good. Like, when I die, will people stand around going, "Man, she was such a horrid BITCH when she was a bouncer!" or "Remember when she'd sleep with all her friends back in the 90s?"? I sure as hell hope people would allow that I had grown and possibly made amends for the stupidity I had wrought in my life. So as I thought that, I realized I had totally done exactly the same thing with a recently departed celebrity that I happened to not like. I was one of the haters for that guy. But when it was someone I respected, I really hated the haters. So I, for one, have to really consistently apply the respect for the dead thing. And the hater thing? Man, what a waste of energy. Blah blah blah. I'll leave now.

There's always an asshole (or 12) in the crowd. The best we can do is not be that asshole :)
