No relation.

One of the last segregationists is dead.  Gotta say...not really that upset.

Yeah, I mean condolences go regardless of his view.  I didn't tip my cup when Ronald Reagan or Strom Thurmond died.  It's not something to celebrate (in that way).  It's not something to celebrate at all if they weren't saved.

It's kind of out there to compare Reagan to Thurmond or Byrd....

Just sayin'.

But yeah, I simply meant that his public service won't be missed.  Never knew him personally so I don't know what kind of a guy he was on that level.

Way to make me look like a prick, guys :)

No that's my bad actually.  :lol:

I get your point, but Reagan and Thurmond both left poor public services legacies as well.
