I don't think bad people deserve respect in death. If that were the case than we should respect those that have murdered innocent people just for the thrill of it or those that have abused a small child. They don't deserve respect in life so why should they deserve it in death. Of course these type of people have done horrible, horrible things but I guess emotional abuse can be just as bad. I think you are a good person, Duke and I am sure you have explained to your daughter why you feel the way you do. I don't think everyone deserves respect just because they are dead. Just my feeling.
