And..

Oh, and blah blah blah blah blah blah Steve Jobs blah blah blah blah. Why not just make him our new god already...I don't understand why people are acting like this when there are thousands of people dying while fighting for freedom (since we Americans tout that as SOOOOOOO important to fight for our freedom) in other countries that we turn a blind eye to. Why aren't we saying anything about Fred Shuttlesworth, a Civil Rights activist who worked with Martin Luther King, Jr., to end segregation and advance the rights of an oppressed people in our country? He died the same day as Jobs, but you'll find little mention of it. It's truly sad that we would ignore somebody like that to apotheosize someone who "told us what we needed before we knew" as a headline that I just saw read.

It's really sickening.
