A huge void has been left...

definitive film critic, great writer, and uniquely thoughtful human being.

"‘Kindness’ covers all of my political beliefs,” he wrote, at the end of his memoirs. “No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.”

---Roger Ebert

I was too young to pay attention to politics when she was in power. That makes me sad.

From what I've seen off Twitter and Buzzfeed, the English don't share our sentiments...

Apparently there was a Twitter hash tag, #thatcherisdead that caused some confusion among Cher fans.
