Did an important "individual" passed away recently?


It goes without saying that not every human being shares the same values, has the same interests and so on... If I carried on this path I would soon hit the wall of individuality. Each human being is different and has to be respected for that. Sure.

The millions of people standing in front of the television watching Michael Jackson's funeral are different, even though they are having exactly the same reaction to MJ's death. No matter how different they are then, they should still be sharing something in common. Is it that they are all equally manipulated by the media on what is important? Is it that they are all equally desperate in search for a role model so that the profile of a talented musician accused for numerous things, can serve as one? Is it that they have so much free time to sit and watch the funerals of celebrities? I don't know but it's almost intriguing how much interest people find in the show Jackson's family and the media put together.

PS: Apparently hours after MJ's death someone put together a web domain titled something like www. Is m j still alive. com Once you clicked on the site there was a big no coming up. Some friends were laughing over it. I am curious how funny they would find it if it was referring to a relative or friend of them?
