I'm sorry to post the sad news of politicalcenter's passing on January 4th. His daughter was very kind to let us know http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/smarties-bar-grill-77.618167/page-22#post-1075170540 politicalcenter was a cool guy and a valued member of the forum. He could take something near nothing and make it such a beautiful something. His presence will be missed. On behalf of myself and this site, our deepest condolences go out to politicalcenter's family and friends. May his spirit live on forever and his memory be a comfort.
I also want to thank that daughter for letting us know. Its certainly not a 'high priority' in grief to think about an online community of the deceased, the curtesy explains a hole, a loss. Not a lot of folk around here advertised themselves as 'centrists', I really enjoyed his more science bent angle on issues such as climate change. I knew I could learn something when I clicked on his posts. My thoughts to go his family.
Wow. How thoughtful of her to tell us! I always wonder when someone just up and never posts here again... Whelp, he's finding out what's next. Vaya con Dios! o7
Kind of ironic. The political center certainly has been dying off lately, not just the poster. A good poster gone, and much more, and another reminder of my unresolvable discomfort with death.
That would be nice, but it could be that death is just the end, and he no longer exists as a person. Preponderance of evidence is in that direction.
Ya lets discuss further in a different thread. http://www.politicalforum.com/index...-evidence-for-or-against-an-afterlife.624192/
It was good to have you here with us, Political Center. Your words and thoughts remain. And to your daughter--thank you for letting us know. Our thoughts are with you.
To all of you who were friends with Political Center and especially to his family, you have my sympathy.
