He went from "Here's Johnny" to Cash for Gold blingvertiser. Then came the death of two "superstars" of media. One provided eye candy to lustful young boys (and crusty old men) in the 70's. The other provided ear candy for three decades. Now comes the news that one of the most favorit hucksters of this decade has passed on. What startles me is the depth with which people are affected by this. None of these people has had a lasting impact for the good of humanity. I'm not trying to diminish their personal value. But these folks are advertisers and salespeople. Shouldn't we be more concerned about the death of human potential that exists in the abortion holocaust? Or the death of countless humanitarians and community lynchpins that occur every day? Where are our values when we re fascinated by men that never grew up or governors that cannot see beyond their own stumbles.

The Jewish tradition says that each generation was a bit more decadent than the one before it (so you should respect the elders) and one day the world would be so corrupted that the only soluction would be the apocalypse. That "Singularity" thing, purely a scifi-plot thing, is a flawed faith just as the belief on a decadent and ultimately doomed world.
