Frankly, there are a LOT of words used in this forum which offend me and others. There are viewpoints that offend me. But in the long run, this is a good forum, with some good ideas. IMHO, the phrase RIP is simply a way to end a thought about somebody's death.
Sen. Byrd was a product of his times and upbringing; he tried (and may have) succeeded in changing his attitudes with the times. He did a lot of good for the people he represented. That is all.

Can you imagine what ideals we hold that may seem totally wrong to everyone else when we're 90?
