   Yes, I’ll chime in with my thanks, Ron
   I’m guessing…or maybe assuming, after a quick content scan…it’s a ‘Darwin-like’ Evolving link?

   I used to have a 9lb hammer that was called “Ron”. But that’s probably a different Ron. Thanks.

    Thanks Ron, I can’t wait to go through it and see everything right from the beginning.

    Here’s an interactive discussion of the issues of the day that I’m almost 100% positive our Sean created for KQED in San Fran. It’s pretty damned cool.

    That is cool, RDZ. Sean really had a lot of talent.

    Hey I’m new on here. The first posts that I read were posted by Sean and it’s very comforting to know that not everyone in this world has lost the ability to think, or to question religious authorities that are no longer relevant in modern society.

    This blog rocks!

    Thanks, Travdawg! We strive to uphold the high standards that Sean set.

    I don’t know if this has been covered yet or not, but could you please update us on Sean’s passing? I for one would like to know more about the cause of death if it’s ever revealed. I’m also sure many would like to pass on some kind of condolences to his family. I doubt that they would really appreciate being deluged in flowers, but his family might find some comfort in knowing just how many people Sean has touched and what a large impact he’s had.

    Perhaps someone could arrange mass donations to Americans for Separation of Church and State in his name.

    Thats a great idea paul where do we send our donations? I know when some of my loved ones have died, the family didnt want flowers they asked people to donate money to a fund for an organization of some sort. Why not the ACLU or the Americans for seperation of church and state or an atheist organiztion or maybe even creating an atheist organization that helps women who have been abused through religion, in Sean name?

17. King Retard:

    I think the ACLU would be appropriate. Just me though.

    Sean was a Carl Sagan fan from what I gathered by his many references. From a post June 30th, Sean was moved by this passage from an interview with Ann Druyen (Carl Sagan’s wife) and it seems appropriate to read again:

    When my husband died, because he was so famous and known for not being a believer, many people would come up to me–it still sometimes happens–and ask me if Carl changed at the end and converted to a belief in an afterlife. They also frequently ask me if I think I will see him again. Carl faced his death with unflagging courage and never sought refuge in illusions. The tragedy was that we knew we would never see each other again. I don’t ever expect to be reunited with Carl. But, the great thing is that when we were together, for nearly twenty years, we lived with a vivid appreciation of how brief and precious life is. We never trivialized the meaning of death by pretending it was anything other than a final parting. Every single moment that we were alive and we were together was miraculous–not miraculous in the sense of inexplicable or supernatural. We knew we were beneficiaries of chance…. That pure chance could be so generous and so kind…. That we could find each other, as Carl wrote so beautifully in Cosmos, you know, in the vastness of space and the immensity of time…. That we could be together for twenty years. That is something which sustains me and it’s much more meaningful…. The way he treated me and the way I treated him, the way we took care of each other and our family, while he lived. That is so much more important than the idea I will see him someday. I don’t think I’ll ever see Carl again. But I saw him. We saw each other. We found each other in the cosmos, and that was wonderful.

    My husband, son, and I are the only remaining family members. I have read and continue to read all the comments that all of you have made about my brother. It is one of my only sources of refuge and comfort right now. I truly appreciate the outpouring of admiration for Sean. Sean and I had spoken, after my father’s death, about appropriate charities for contributions. We had decided on the ACLU and Amnesty International, since those were the two our family has supported most over the years. I think the same can be said for Sean. I would like to write more but I am left with little ability to express. Perhaps in the coming weeks….

    Sister – Thanks for coming by and commenting at this difficult time. Our thoughts are with you…hang in there.

    Sister, we’re glad to hear from you. Thanks a lot for dropping us a line.

    Sister, this is for you and yours. Raise a glass to Sean and your Da- and keep them alive inside of you always.

    RDZ: You are two-for-two…thanks so much for your links…

    Everyone, thanks for your kind thoughts…

    We went to SF and finished all the “death business”…
    I really hate this shit…

    I just checked this thread and realized Bob and Sister had posted here. Thank you very much for the info; I remember Sean always sticking up for the ACLU and the often-thankless-but-always-necessary job they do. And after researching and posting about the Spanish Inquisition, and watching Congress pass the torture bill, I think Amnesty International needs all the help they can get. Who knew one of the countries they were going to have to worry about in regards to torture was once an example of civil rights and equality?

    Anywho, off my soapbox now. Please take good care of yourselves and the little guy. We’ll be here.
