You can value life and still trash death- in fact it is merely another way TO value life. Of course I prefer to value people whose lives I actually respected- Natalie Wood for example, did some terrific acting when she was younger. I really liked some of her performances. The mere fact that I listened to, laughed at, and repeated Natalie Wood jokes, does not lessen my respect for her as a person. And I was very sorry when she died.

I am sorry JFK jr died from his own carelessness. But I do not respect him, and I did not respect him before he died. Death does not change my feelings- I will not respect him simply BECAUSE he is dead. I do not believe jokes "trivialize" death. They are actually a way to confront death. Shake hands with it, and laugh at it (imo). As i have said before, I think everyone is free to have their own opinion- I am not a very judgmental person. If people don't want to laugh- I'm not going to stick a feather up their butt and MAKE them. But some people here are a little too controlling about the behavior of others (imo). Not that there's anything wrong with that........not.
