    I am dreading xenophobic idiots on the internet cheering just because of his "religion" even though he was more peaceful than those hatriots will ever be.

    nothing like the 70's when we gathered around the tv & watched ali. uncle, grandmother, grandfather, dad, mom, friends of the family, everybody. this was spectacular & i knew it even though i was a child. ali is one tough son of a bitch. remember when ken norton broke ali's jaw early in the fight & the fight went all the way i believe, ten more rounds or something. was this the manila, philippines fight, i forget?

    Interesting, I'm all weepy over this man dying, and my guy was so matter-of-fact - though not cold - as he tends to be about life and death. Just realistic, I guess.

    "of course, it was coming".

    I hope to temper my boohoo'ing side with a bit of that hard shell to counter it.

    That doesn't change the fact that it will happen and it has. I've seen ignorant hatriots on Facebook already saying "rest in hell" just by the search function.

    Just saying.
