I agree that the media coverage was a circus. I hardly expect JFK, Jr. requested it and it does not excuse poorly timed and tasteless jokes over a human tragedy. I sympathize with the family, regardless of their politics or treatment by the media. JLA

<<<If we're making fun of anyone, it's the people who blow the whole thing into something it's not.>>>

I don't think that's all you were doing.

You were treating these deaths dismissively, implying that a moment of bad judgment made them somehow karmically correct, IYO; at least I think you were.

<<<At least we will be spared that.>>>

This is close to expressing, satirically, gladness at this event, I think. And I think it's hard.

P.S. Steven, it's hard for me to argue with you, or criticize you, because I am an admirer of yours... but still....

Is there anything in my two longish posts to you, one at close to 3 am, one today, with which you disagree?

I wonder the same thing about you, too, Cobe. Do you disagree with any point I made or anything at all I expressed in those two posts?
