It appears that Celebrity Death has gone too far-This is evidenced by the Death of the young starlet  Brittany Murphy.

Has our thirst for celebrity death gone too far wth the death of Brittany Murphy.

It has been  all too much for American’s Perception of Death and bloggers on the Internet. Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Billy Mays,  John Hughes, Ted Kennedy… all have been changed in death because of the internet and twitter.

“….. you’d think the whole of “Who’s Who” had vanished in a single gigantic puff of glittery smoke. You can’t really blame CNN or TMZ or the army of bloggers who host these elaborate public wakes: They’re simply giving us what we want. We don’t just grieve for celebrities anymore; we indulge in orgies that turn the dead into the people we need them to be so we can assuage our anxieties about death, both our own and America’s. Do not ask for whom the blog tweets; it tweets for thee”via www.esquire.com

Snippet from the Daily Mail:

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Dies

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Dies

Julian(Lennon) said he remembered showing the picture to his father: ‘I used to show dad everything I’d built or painted at school, and this one sparked off the idea for a song about Lucy in the sky with diamonds.’

The image inspired Lennon and McCartney to write one of the most popular Beatles lyrics of them all.

‘Picture yourself in a boat on a river, With tangerine trees and marmalade skies. Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, A girl with kaleidoscope eyes…’  Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news

STATEMENT FROM THE PRESIDENT ON THE PASSING OF EUNICE KENNEDY SHRIVER

Michelle and I were deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Eunice Kennedy Shriver. Eunice was many things to many people: a mother who inspired her children to serve others; a wife who supported her husband Sargent in the Peace Corps and in politics; and a sister to her siblings, including brothers John, Robert, and Edward. But above all, she will be remembered as the founder of the Special Olympics, as a champion for people with intellectual disabilities, and as an extraordinary woman who, as much as anyone, taught our nation – and our world – that no physical or mental barrier can restrain the power of the human spirit. Her leadership greatly enriched the lives of Special Olympians throughout the world, who have experienced the pride and joy of competition and achievement thanks to her vision. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sargent; their children Robert, Maria, Timothy, Mark, and Anthony; and the entire Kennedy family.

obamacare_gravediggers_180Health Care reform and your funeral arrangements(death care)  need to be separate, as far as the  east is from the west. The risk of treachery is too great.

President Obama appeared to agree with this yesterday when he appeared before the AARP in a town meeting teleconference.

“Meanwhile, speculation about what the overall reform package might contain has muddled Mr. Obama’s message. That much was clear at his tele-town hall meeting with members of AARP on Tuesday when a woman asked if Medicare reforms would force people to choose how they want to die.-www.cbsnews.com

Nobody’s going to be forcing you to be making decisions on end of life care,” the president responded.

The problem I have with proposed Obama’s health  reform care plan is that it may take people into end of life care.

 If they decide what drugs you receive could that not bring you to end of life?

If they decide what drugs you receive could that not bring you to end of life?

A Bureaucrat may decide you do not need a test. Should that not be your decision? Why trust someone else to make the decision that involves your life?

If they decide what drugs you receive could that not bring you to end of life?

The fact that end of life care is even mentioned as a  voluntary option  in the House of Representatives Bill {Page (425)}leaves a door open for  evil social engineering.

Should we call the gravediggers for Mom and Dad?

Addressing and making changes to the cost of health and death care must happen but not at the expense of people’s lives.
