Do we value celebrities too much? I'm sympathetic to Smith's family, but there is no widespread news coverage about other peoples deaths, no matter how tragic. Soldiers are dying everyday in all kinds of terrible accidents, people in underdeveloped nations are dying because they don't have enough water/food/medication to live, and here I'm sitting, hearing of this one death, for how many minutes? Are we that engrossed in the lives of celebrities? How can we focus that attention to the world's biggest problems right now, say, aids?
