We'll leave it at this 

Ironic since Kirk championed “free speech” as the foundation upon which to spread his views, even ones that were quite divisive. Yet opinions on his life (which are common when someone else does, be it a musical hero to some or someone more infamous like an OK Simpson) are being censored because it may lead to some divisive stances. Unfortunate.

We don't moderate political discussion here. There is really not more to it than that.

The guy is (was) a legend for childrens books.  I remember reading them with my parents when I was really young and then doing the same with my kids when they were smaller.  His works are timeless.

and I was real lucky to have attended a performance the one time he did Kids Fest in 2001

My daughter was reading his books last year and prior. He will be missed but his legacy will live on. I guess not RIP yet but hopefully sooner than later I suppose.

Robert Redford is gone at 89. Great actor. Just by watching his films he seemed like a geniunely nice guy & was the kind of actor who appealed to everyone. My favourite was All The President's Men. May Robert now Rest In Peace.

The Last Castle was one of the best movies ever made imo.

He also has Parkinson's, not just dementia so he could possibly have been approved based on that diagnosis.

The catch to mental health issues and MAID is that he has to choose to do it while he is still competent.  If he waits too long, he won't have the capacity to choose to go through with it.  Better too soon than to late is what it comes down to.
