Man born of a woman is only here for a few days. We all will have to do what Johnnie did, one day and that is die. God bless Johnnie to be a very successful black man. I am proud to have known of him... His family should be proud to have had him in their life... One day we all will close our eyes forever, keep living....

'No protesters in front of his hospital, I bet.'

He died at home.

Johnny cochran actually had a very compelling rags to riches life story and was a great philanthropist. We'd be better off if a lot more black kids emulated him than the next NBA superendorsement billboard or the next gangstaploitation star.

I bet Cochran was also not being given food and water, and died the same way Terri Schiavo is going to.

No protesters in front of his hospital, I bet.

Not to be morbid, but I wonder whether the U.S. Supreme Court will still issue an opinion on the prior restraint case before it involving Johnnie Cochran as a party. A trial court had enjoined one of Cochranâs former clients from speaking about Cochran and the Supreme Court was reviewing whether it was an unlawful prior restraint in violation of the First Amendment. Seems like a moot point now. Oh wait, I guess that was being morbid.

Cockran is dead, and Falwell. Alot of opinion will be submitted, and a fair bet not all would be favorable. These men did things we label as good and not so good. But they were human beings, probably doing the best they could. I wish them well on their journey, this their final journey. May the Universe bless them and keep them, May the Universe shine its light upon them and give them peace.
