We touch the subjects that are too hot to touch

So Jade Goody is dying of cancer.

I'm not saying this is a good thing, but it makes you think. It makes you think about how death is the great equaliser. All the jerky people of the world, all the people who never earned their fame or wealth, all the ones who are just plain evil, will all, eventually, be dead.

(To clarify, I'm not saying she deserves death. As Gandalf once said 'Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends'.)
