Where are the tears for the parents struggling to raise their children in this crazy world? Where are the tears for our fallen servicemen & servicewomen? For Everyman and Everywoman? For our youngest, who haven't had our shot to change the world, helpless and dependant on the 'adults'? No, it seems that we save our sorrow for those lucky enough to have enough talent to become 'celebrities', no matter what sick, twisted lives they actually live and portray to the rest of us. As EMT's, we have the unusual and very special opportunity to witness these souls in their last moments. We have the responsibility to make them dignified, honored, and respected, sometimes for the first time in their life. Good job, Epi. Keep it up. Hear Hear!

From the afternoon he died with people standing outside of the hospital, I refused to watch anything about him, the funeral, the massive amount of people that have nothing better to do, or no One better to worship than a pathetically sick "celebrity". It was my own little "boycott" of being infinitely saddened by what the world sees as deserving attention. And my little boycott did nothing to change anyone's mind that we need to reassess our priorities. I am so right there with you.

Sums up my feelings exactly. I can believe that the media freaked out, but this shows that they've lost all connection to reality. But we knew that already. Linked - Added to blogroll.
