Others Have Died This Month
Sooooooo True!!
With no disrespect intended to the Jackson family, this
sure does reveal the shallowness of our value system in this country.
While the focus today, tomorrow and for the next
God-knows-how-many-days will be the death of a pop culture icon; while
many will mourn, wail and quite literally make fools of themselves over
it and while many will speak endlessly about it, allow me, if only for a
moment, to remind us all that others have died this month; others whose
lives were cut short; others who leave behind loved ones and whose
families will dearly miss them; families who'll suffer with much more
dignity and honor than we'll be exposed to on the tube in the coming
days.
Yes... it's true... we've suffered a great loss... but forgive me while
I tell you that I'm not talking about the king of pop music.
