The presence of paparazzi doesn't remove any pity I might have for someone dying. That being said, the way the Princess Di story hit the news and people's heartstrings is downright bizarre. It's especially weird that it was such a big deal in the USA. I mean, aren't the USA all about having dumped their colonial roots?
I don't know the details on the Aaliyah plane crash. If her plane was way overloaded, then yes, that was pretty dumb. But did she know it was overloaded? Shouldn't the pilot have refused to fly that way? Someone made a boneheaded decision, and it might not have been her.
This reminds me of the Kennedy story a couple of years ago (I forget which Kennedy). He crashed his plane, and everyone was filled with pity. But he was flying with a cast on his leg, which is both stupid and illegal. 'Twas his own fault.
Downhill skiing isn't necessarily an expensive hobby. You can get a season pass for pretty cheap around here. Of course, his resort was probably very pricey.
