Which statesman had the biggest funeral ever?

George Morgan3 said:I don't really recall the specifics, though I know my father cried about it—I'll admit that much. But he really laid out all his reasons. He grew up as a child in the post-war era, living his whole life under the shadow of a "Great Leader" surrounded by a thirty-five-year cult. It was heavy. Even though he was considered part of the old guard, even though he was active in the United States, even though he was labeled a reformer... they harassed him constantly because of his family ties and all that. I guess the psychological weight of such a massive machine was just too much to bear. Still, the very next day, he gathered a few friends together and cracked open a bottle of fine French John Doe.
I'm not quite following, what exactly are we talking about here
regarding the switch from cheap local bourbon to fine French John Doe?
Maybe you can take some comfort in the fact that nobody ever tells the truth. Like why that former Ralph Lauren model
is always bringing up external struggles and how the system is grinding him down.
It seems like it takes a mountain of Antabuse before someone is finally ready to face the truth.
