Her love of nature and the environment had an effect on my outlook on life - something I will carry with me forever. |

You have a knack for blowing things out of proportion. Slagging off on her husband and calling her dumb as rocks on the day of her death is pretty terrible in my opinion. I had a ton of respect for Lady Bird. It was tough to follow Jackie Kennedy. I think she really progressed the role of First Lady in a positive way. She leaves a definitely classy legacy. | | | ...James

Back on topic... agreed, a sad day. BS. I'm sick of all that fake emotion for people who've died. Anybody who could spend a lifetime with a guy who was as morally bankrupt and genuinely corrupt as LBJ is either ignoring the facts, or is too damn stupid for words. Truth is, I've heard stories for years that Ladybird was not exactly the pussycat everybody makes her out to be. Not surprising considering she was married to who she was. What do you care for anyway, Lopek, you're a Brit? | | | John

You don't have to have fake emotion - there is the option to not reply to every single thread. You could keep you mouth shut, and have a little respect for others.

Agree, but then this part of the forum rule should be adjusted: "...Religious or political discussion specifically should be kept within the general discussion areas." This should be replaced by: "Religious or political discussions are not wanted" | | | Thorsten |

| Posted: July 12, 2007 11:24 AM | | | | IIRC, the community did this adjustment in a kind of unwritten agreement since this type of discussion in the past got out of hand even faster than topics like H/B/C and such... | | | Lutz |

Yeah, and she was married to one of the most corrupt and immoral politicians ever to occupy the White House.
