Grim, I can see the point you are trying to make, but like Scott, you've missed mine: One life should not be more important than another's simply because he got lucky in life and got to make movies. It is wrong that a person who toils throughout their life, working 60 hours a week until they are too old to even enjoy life when they retire, only to die 3 months after that retirement, gets buried with minimal "fanfare", despite this person giving everything they had to the subsistence of their family... when at the same time a 40 year old celebrity who did nothing more than make some racing movies (which the film industry beat like a dead horse... cmon, SEVEN installments?!?!) and also jumped on the "I'm for charity" bandwagon as a P.R. move, he dies, in a stupid way because he and his buddy were goofing around in a car you nor I can ever dream of affording and crashed it into a damn light post... oh, now all the celeb followers like Scott are all up in arms. Get real people... There is more to living life than following the often fake, often cosmetically altered existences of celebrities. Worshipping and mourning them in death when they didn't do a single damned thing for you is pathetic. Paul Walker didn't know you or anyone that you love even existed, so why give two bits of a crap when his buddy goofs off and plows into a post??? It makes no sense... just more idolizing celebrities simply because they are celebrities.
