respect all the dead? I don't think so. maybe some.

but so what? we can respect the guy and not follow what we think are his wishes. how do we know it wasn't just a test? how do we know it's not a joke?

did he have a chance to tear it up and burn the ms himself? uh, that would be yes. did he? no. so he left a note asking someone else to do it?

people, live people, have to make their own choices and accept responsibility for what they do. and destroying a manuscript such as this can't be excused by saying, "well, i had to do it because this piece of paper told me to." If the twit destroys the papers, it's on his head. Not Daddy's.
