I'm sure some English professor out there will nail me on that.
Well, who I'm really interested in are the dead.
Right.
Because they are the least among us.
And it's amazing how, and you, I don't know, you know, and I can get into some of these stories, but
It's amazing the way the dead are treated and how they're forgotten.
Bubba, I've stood over so many unidentified bodies in my career, both in New Orleans and Atlanta, things that were very hopeless and helpless.
I felt helpless because I couldn't get them identified.
and they're buried in unmarked graves.
Or back years and years ago, kind of like what happened to Michael Jordan's father over in Marble County, South Carolina.
He was cremated, and they didn't know who he was.
And we forget about the dead.
Nobody thinks about the dead until it's your dead.
And then there's no advocacy that's going to stop, you know, step up.
So
I've purposed in my life that, you know, I was given this gift for a reason.
And it's rather gruesome.
It is.
I'll admit that.
But death's always been gruesome.
