Jade Goody's dead

Am I misanthropic just because I have no idea why anyone who has no personal connection to her should feel anything about her death? Don't get me wrong here - I'm certainly not advocating snide remarks about her death, or piss-taking - but why should I or anyone else who has had to suffer her persistance care about her?

Phil, I may have got you wrong here, I dunno. Presumably you need have no connection to a child being mercilessly taunted in the playground for the colour of his/her skin to feel something for him/her? So why can you not feel something for someone who dies an unpleasant and early death, leaving her children behind - just because you had to "suffer her persistence"? Or, another question, can you feel anything for her sons?

btw - I did leave the records safely at the Coach last night, didn't I?
