They say people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!
Facebook, as expected, is brimming with eulogies... Eulogies to Dom Mintoff, in which people have claimed ALL the Maltese should be grieving as he's the one that made Malta a decent country to live in.
Well, that "ALL" is too big a word. Many would cherish not to take part in that 'all'.
But hey, many just won't accept it. It's inconceivable, right? Well, that's all bollocks! It's politics. You've your take and others have theirs. Dead or alive, people will always say stuff about you.
Not being very much the norm here, some people are simply appalled by Daphne's latest blogpost.
She's happy the man died. She said he was a bastard. Now quite apart from the fact that in reality she speaks on behalf of many; Quite apart from the fact that she's the guts to say what others have silently admitted deep down... Well, that's all besides the point. It's her blog.
Everybody, surely - OK, maybe Jason Micallef didn't know since he isn't yet aware of the fact that she's a journalist - knew Daphne would rejoice.
Why did people have to rush to see what she would say? They are now in a bit of a funny hissy mood, throwing tantrums all over the place... They say it's crass to speak like that. They have totally forgotten their hero is dead; it's all about what Daphne said now.
Meanwhile, however, in their comments they add their wishes, such as the following:

| Call her 'hateful', that's all right. But you shouldn't be doing the same thing, should you? It sort of beats the purpose... |
As a certain Adrian Cachia puts it: "They dragged Gaddafi in the streets, they hanged Mussolini. They rejoiced when Saddam died. They rejoiced when Tito died... It's normal for people to rejoice when someone they hate dies. What is new?"
