To me, seven nasa crew members dying is just as horrible as people dying a long drawed out death due to AIDs, but I can't judge myself which is worse and which deserves constant news coverage. You should consider taking that comment out. Any person here who has friends or knows people afflicted by cancer, AIDs, or HIV will not like what you've said at all.
I never said one death was more important than another. I said one death was more newsworthy than another. Yes, A.I.D.S. victims suffer a lot more than the people who died on the shuttle. That doesn't make each death worth reporting on the front page (or at all).
