Generally, I wouldn't say no.... I'd say HELL NO. I'll give you and example. Recently the comedian Milton Berle passed away at the ripe old age of 93. Didnt bother me at all. I didnt know him, never thought he was funny. Maybe he meant something to my parents from the early days of television. I thought hed been dead for at least 10 years. I know his career had been dead for at least 20. Ill be honest and say I was shocked to learn he'd died simply because I thought he was already dead. Didnt bother me though.

September 11 bothered me. It made me want to nuke a whole bunch of countries. Paybacks are hell. I hope nothing like it ever happens again. I have to give Bush some credit. He maintained his composure where I would have started the end of the world. Yes, I know that wouldnt have been the answer. I know that more deaths of innocents wouldnt have solved anything. Good thing I'm not President, huh???

As for the rest, I think its sad when some punk takes a gun to school and kills other students or teachers. As for being sad for each individual killed in such situations, thats rather difficult as I dont know them.

Mostly I reserve my true greiving for family or close friends. As a whole, famous people are not included.
