As far as I'm concerned, she, Michael Jackson and everyone else who has died recently with far too much fame that can possibly be good for them have not warrented the clogging up of the news that their deaths have achieved.
Celebreties and their following have almost achieved an almost religious status in the lives of many, where them and their exploits are followed avidly. Fame, money, partying are what their lives mostly consisted of, and they have simply suffered the consiquences of the lives they have led.
But did they rescue people from burning buildings? fight crime in dangerous areas? travel to war torn countries to give aid to those less fortunate than themselves? Get ordered off to fight and die in a pointless war and do so without question? dedicate their lives to curing fatal diseases?
what makes them more worthy of media coverage than a death of a fireman?
What makes their deaths more tragic than that of a young soldier dying in Iraq or Afghanistan?
What makes the loss of a singer with more money than sense greater than that of a doctor who dedicated his/her life to helping people?

Quote:Frankly, I wish that the fruits of my work useful and glorious appearing of the world that the fruits of my labor awaken the mind and unlock the feeling of those who are deprived of light.
Ridiculous to say, outside the sky was nothing.
There is not one world, one earth, one sun, but as many worlds as we see bright sparks on us.
Giordano Bruno
