A man died today, a man whose entire life was dedicated to making a difference in the lives of others, to inspiring and helping masses of others to make their most cherished dreams come true. This is a man who was a loving and committed teacher, leader, husband, father, and son; he was a man who in his final days took the time to prepare a message to his children and to the world in the hopes that he would be leaving a legacy of joy, love, and freedom. This man enjoyed his life to the fullest and was all about encouraging others to do the same.
For you to post here, on the day of his death no less, about how wrong this man was and holding him up as a target for your political agenda, is closely akin to showing up at a memorial for Martin Luther King, Jr. and spouting about what a loser King was for not being more active against gun control. I find it incredibly disrespectful and in astonishingly poor taste.
I respect you, Daj, but I do not respect blatant willingness not to see past your own agenda to the contribution that was Randy Pausch's life.
