I agree with everything that lisacb said too.
It is simply my preference to honor those who die of more noble causes. It is simply my preference to let MJ pass and stop giving him more fanfare than we give other heroes or role models.
And as an aside, I think it is hard to look at a person's posts in a thread and not put them in context with other posts made in other threads and that's what's happening here to some degree.
