There is nothing like a tragedy to turn a person into a saint, that is the one thing I have noticed, and it is quite amusing really. I do not know how many of you are famillar with the story of the minors that were trapped, it was like in Idaho or some such, and well it was on the news for like almost every day durring my vaccation and the one thing I have notcied, and of course this has occured in other situations as well, all of the sudden the minors were cast in this role of being some great heros, and why? Becasue of something that happend to them of which they had no control over.
It may sound harsah, but really anytime a person dies in some circumstance of which they have no control, all the sudden the media makes them look like saints, and people who do not know anything about them hold vigils, but really, how does anyone know that any of these minors were not in fact a complete asshole, they do exisist in the world.
How does the media and the complete stranges lighting candels out there know that say one of these guys was not skipping out on child support, or beat his girlfrined, or was cheating on his wife? I mean really, and this is true of anyone who is finds themselves killed in some unfortunate accident, how do you know there is not like someone out there saying, well it is about time they got theres?
Being killed tragicaly, should not be enough to wipe your slate clean of all ill you have done, and what is it with people that autumaticaly thing that well if something tragic happend to a person, then they must have been the greatest, best, person in the world.
