As I age, I watch the death notices and read obits. I like the pictures, especially the ones that show a person not looking like they did when they died. I like to keep track of my enemies. Obits being what they are and my list of friends being what it is, I won’t have to mourn many of the featured. I also like to read what these people did whom I have heard of and learn about people who have escaped me while doing something that changed the world in some significant way. Today, it was Mr. Tyson.
He lived a baronial life. Along the way, he destroyed thousands or maybe millions of lives. He supported a President who ignored genocide. He supported a President who lied about WMD’s. He extended slavery, treating labor poorly. And, he promoted food that challenged those who ate his stuff to remain healthy. For this he rode in yachts and slept with beautiful women.
