op, while I would understand your grief because his public personality has been a part of your life for years and his actions and experiences touched you emotionally, do you agree with what I have been saying above.
Paul Newman died a few months ago. People all over the world were sad because a man who did movies they loved and made salad dressing they ate, was gone. He made movies that millions of people saw. He had been around for almost 8 decades and a lot of people knew who he was. That is it. Was I sad, not really. I appreciated his body of work and what he had accomplished. I was sad that there would not be any more entertaining movies from him, but ultimately was I sad because he was dead, no.
I just think people go way to far with this stuff and it is only because these people or situations are "news worthy". Like I posted originally every single second of every single day, thousands of people are dying. Right now thousands are dying everywhere. Why are you not publicly upset about them. Because it is not a news story or in the papers.
