I do agree with you. I don't understand what makes celebrity deaths worth more than your average person. A death is a death. If Jim Carrey died tomorrow, I wouldn't feel any worse for him that if Jon Doe down the street from me. Someone like Jobs, you know, I could see in a different light. But when you look at actors and entertainers, I don't know. Why is the death of them more "deserving" of a look back than would be mine? Later, QD.
