I felt ST's piece was lighthearted but wasn't making fun of a tragedy. It's the kind of thing a group of friends would sit around and discuss, "if you were going to do a film on this subject, who would you cast in the various roles and why ?" If a film was going to be made, it would be a pretty serious film if you were going to cast people in the roles of the principal players.<br />I thought it was an interesting piece because as we've pointed out many a time, Tate/LaBianca touches on so many different areas of common life, from the familiar to the obscure, from the humorous to the tragic, from the political to the musical, from the legal to the mundane and a lot more besides.<br />Like "Are you obsessed yet ?" and "Buster has died" it was an interesting angle from which to bring a post and like many good ones, stirs thoughts and emotions and provides basis for discussion.grimtravellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00025774296829848608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-35833912204264796892016-03-06T18:43:04.337-05:002016-03-06T18:43:04.337-05:00A little bit more of googlin' wiki for Grim:

Then you make some kind of comment about how little this case means to anyone in the outside world, or some statement about the ratio of people interested in this case, and then you make sure to try and say something to prove how smart you are and how dumb most of the guys who comment on the given subject are...<br /><br />Its always the same thing. you cant seem to find anyone who is interested in how much you know about JFK, so your stuck telling us how dumb we are for chatting and blogging about this.<br /><br />I have never seen you write a post, or contribute anything anywhere, except your wit and wisdom, and academic background which means exactly squat in regards to this subject.<br /><br />I realize for you to make a post or contribute something substantial, you would actually have to read some of the books about the case, which you seem awfully reluctant to do for such a bright person. you prefer to create noise from a place of ignorance. That confuses me because I believe you are a very smart guy.<br /><br />After 8 years of this if you think I would ever try to offend any of the victims or families by writing a joke post, you really should read my posts before criticizing them.
