A long time ago, when Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority were first making news, I went to the local variety store around the corner and had them make me a t-shirt that said 'Immoral Minority'. I thought it was funny as hell, but my mother asked me to not wear it. Being a good daughter, I didn't, but I still thought it was funny.
And now, long years later, Falwell has finally passed on. His star was eclipsed in later years by other players on the right-wing stage, but the virulent damage his brand of Christianity has done to the fabric of American society will take a long time to wash away.
I know it's not "nice" but I can't find it in me to be the tiniest bit sorry that he's gone.
