When I heard you died, I was shocked. Not shocked in a distant way, but shocked because you were so young and you loved your life so much. I didn't watch you faithfully on TV (there's only so much politics even I can take) but when I did see you, you were an unfailing class act. Even when you knew someone was lying, you didn't start screaming or calling names. You let their own words hang them.
And you asked the questions that made me think and take notice. This is our country, you seemed to say, and you challenged those who watched you to be citizens, to watch and take notice instead of mindlessly following the Political Leader De Jour.
So, I'll leave the rest of the tributes to those who truly knew you. I just wanted to say thanks.
RIP.

Offer me coffee or chocolate and world peace is assured. Or at least I'll try really hard. :) I also believe in deleting spam. So, to the person or persons who keep leaving me comments in Chinese (along with links to what I can clearly tell are Chinese porn sites) stop it. It's bad karma, to say nothing of being really, really rude.
