JJR, please accept my sympaties on your loss.
As far as JFK, jr goes, it's too bad, of course, but BFD.
What I have found offense is the excessive, boring, banal news saturation. It amazes me how the media twits romaticize all this crap, the Kennedy need to 'push the envelope' and 'risk taking', when if it had been another person they would be harping on the basic stupidity of a person who has been flying for barely a year, in a plane they weren't real familiar with, for flying at night. I'm with you DC, my bets are on Darwin. M2
