In case you weren't sure how to feel about reading this obit, here's a handful of this guy's impact on the world...
I could go on, but I'm feeling the sudden urge to go dance in the street.
Update: for further reading, please have a look at the obituary written by Erik Loomis on the Lawyers Guns & Money blog. It's outstanding.
Was he ever accused on sexual harassment or assault? Did any minors accuse him of doing things? His resume sounds like someone who would do this kind of thing.
The more I learn about this guy, the less I care for him.
I am pretty sure my Mom have me a copy of Dare to Discipline when my kids were preschool age. I never actually considered reading it though.
If your mom is still alive and relying on you in her old age, you should read it and apply the lessons to her care.
It says if you really loved your kids you should beat them.
