Is that so ? Then how do you feel about those tens of thousands of people who were lining up at his house, hoping to catch a glimpse of whatever it was they were hoping to see ? I an imagine lots of people want to see this, though i'm not one of them, but when famous people go out like this, it's often a big show. Fortuyn himself would have enjoyed this very much, i'm sure of that.[/QUOTE]And I think that burials should be a personal and private thing, a last opportunity for family members and close friends to say goodbye and end the mourning process.
And yes, Fortuyn was a vain (ijdel) man, he certainly would have loved it. Though I still think Fortuyn was overrated. He didn't have the grandeur of a world-changing person, he didn't have the plans and ideologies of someone like Ghandi, all he had were (empty?) promises that were controversial and impossible to implement at best. His fame was created by the media, and if we have to believe the ridiculous nonsense many LPF-members were spouting he was indirectly also killed by the media. That the media also directs his funeral, is the painful irony of his character...
