For four years I drank coffee in front of a mural at McMaster University commemorating the "Disappeared" of his 17 year rule over Chile ...
Today at the age of 91 he died, having never been called to justice for the brutality of his regime and his iron fist ...
I won't even mention his name ... may he simply slip into the sands of time, forgotten and reviled as he so richly deserves ... and Today and in the coming days, may we instead remember the Disappeared and those who died under his rule ... They deserve to be remembered ... he deserves to be forgotten ...
In remembering the Disappeared, we seek to never let it happen again ...
