The Human Life

[JWil]

Why is it that media and social networks flood with concern and condolences, whenever a celebrity dies? Recently actor Paul Walker died an ironic death, high speed crash in a Porche. I feel for his family and am sorry for their loss, just like I would be for any American. Just because someone is famous does not in my eyes deem their life anymore valuable. Media and social networks portray a celebrities death to be more important then anyone else's. What about all the service members who on a monthly basis are KIA. Where is their appriciation? I understand that I volunteered to be in the service and do not expect a nationwide ceremony for any and every lost hero. However it's a lack of respect and appriciation, I feel every time another celebrity dies and it over publicized. This is my first thread post I hope I haven't violated any rules by my little rant, just looking for insight.
