    Some public figures seem to make an obsessive effort so that their life’s legacy is to not be missed, and in fact for the planet to emit a (tiny) sigh of relief. The list of this sort of people is particularly long in the so-called “conservative” or “christian” (actually reactionary and bigoted) side of politics.
