I think all of us who've transitioned from 20 to 30 can agree with her. I still can't get over how much he could've impacted civics and technology as a wiser man.
From http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/semmelweis :
"Looking at ourselves objectively isn’t easy. But it’s essential if we ever want to get better. And if we don’t do it, we leave ourselves open to con artists and ethical compromisers who prey on our desire to believe we’re perfect."
It is perhaps even more likely that that isn't the case, but don't assume things.
This is perhaps the most profound statement about love I've ever come across.
"Promises, rewards, or inducements have been given to witness Erin Quinn Norton. Copies of the letter agreement with her and order of immunity with respect to her grand jury testimony are disclosed on Disk 3."
If this sounds shady, that's because it is.

This is a tragedy, and how people view this will vary widely, there is no need kneejerk hate-filled ignorance, even if it does make you feel better.
I don't know enough about the case to dig further.
She likes to call herself a journalist but it seems to me that she always puts herself in the story. I am seeing some of that here as well.
I'm also uncomfortable with her "claiming" him as a "lover." I'd be rather uncomfortable with one of my ex's writing articles about me after my death.
Then again, maybe I'm missing something here.
Complaining that she "puts herself in the story"? On her personal blog? When someone she loved has just died? Seriously? Are you really that callous?
(And if my ex wrote about me like that after my death, then I'd be perfectly fine with it.)
But my sense of her article is that she's maybe a bit insensitive to the person who was his current partner, Taren. Some feelings aren't meant to be written down and shared with all the world to see.
