Brutal 2016 losses!

[Bpeep]

One person in the world dies every 30 seconds from war,
15 thousand die every day from bad water, and western society only recognizes the deaths of those entitled with enrichment and excess.

Somethings really, really wrong.

Agreed, my personal theory is that Suzanne Collins wrote The Hunger Games as a wake up call to First World Countries.

It wasn't just musicians and actors ya know,.

Literature and publishing houses suffered great losses from famous, talented authors dying in 2016.

Take a look at these people ^^. Read much? I confess, I read so many of Ann Rule's true crime books that I was going to be afraid to go outside.

People are born, and people will die.

Personally, I feel more for the children of Aleppo than I do for older, wealthy celebrities who have more than made the most of their life.

Dead at 54. All these people in my age group dying of heart attacks is quite worrisome. Shouldn't this be for old people?

A true scientist. With young women needing heros and role models in sciences, here is someone I've never heard of.

Rest in Peace.

Heart attack again. So - not taking care of themselves, probably. Drug use is possibly a factor in these young heart attacks. Possibly stress? Lots of reasons, mostly preventable.

We all loose someone special, either personal or someone we looked up to. All sad.

Tonight will be a sad evening. (Dec 27th) The Kennedy Center Honors.

Last year the Eagles, were to be honored, but because of the poor health of Glen Frey, they delayed the honor to this year. The Eagles, Don, Timothy, and Joe will be honored, being present, but sadly, Glen will be honored posthumously for his contributions to the band.

I never thought of technological losses before, but cruising through CNN I see this one.

Will VCRs become collector items? I'll bet they do.

I stole this from Glacier's thread. I'm ruthless today. I am bad.

And today? Carrie Fisher passed away.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I regret to inform you that the herione of an entire generation has died.

Omigod! Princess, you are forever in our hearts.

Brutal! Brutal losses in 2016.

The heroine of an entire generation?
She was an actor.
Merely.
No more special that the other hundreds of thousands that will die today.

I'll never understand why peeps worship artists as godlike.
