Reading about Fonda's passing and being reminded of that lovely tweet made me look up some information about his father, Henry. Henry Fonda was a good actor, but by all accounts, he was a lousy husband and father. He has often been described as "cold and distant" toward his children. Perhaps that explains the behavior of his children.
I enjoyed "Easy Rider" when it came out back in the 1960s, but then again, I was a dumb kid with the typical liberal leanings of that period. Saw the movie again some years later after I grew up and became more conservative and it just wasn't the same. And while that movie made Peter Fonda a star, I don't think his subsequent work was all that wonderful.
With regard to that tweet, Fonda allegedly expressed "regret" at having sent it, which I guess is about as close to an actual apology we will ever get from him -- or his sister, or that matter. It seems that lefties usually don't really apologize for their actions.
Whatever -- Mr. Fonda is in God's hands now and He will do the judging, not me. So as a Christian, I will pray that Mr.. Fonda rests in peace and that God will comfort his loved ones.
