I am not a believer in the "halo effect".
Saying only good things about the dead doesn't change the fact that they
are responsible their death. Not talking about the facts doesn't bring
back the dead.
This "feel good", "politicly correct", "don't speak the truth" society
is getting too many people killed.
I don't really care what the relatives think.
If someone does something stupid and gets themselves or others killed,
there is a greater good lesson to be learned to save others.
Why do you want to ignore that fact?

So, you go a Bush/Kerry website to learn the facts about a candidate or
what the political party wants you to know? There are many websites out
there with content that has nothing to do with anything. Jay has an
aviation themed hotel, so his website has aviation content.

Is there something that could be learned from viewing a video of your
own daughter being killed in a traffic accident.


It doesn't make a difference. If there is a lesson to be learned and it
is teachable, use it. If other lives can be saved, yes.

Perhaps there is John. But would your wife and your other children like
to see a video clip being shown on Real TV, or a website for a motel.
You say the subject is relevance and I agree, so that's why I would
like to know what your wife thinks.


It doesn't make any difference. If I did something stupid and there was
a video of it, it's my fault for putting myself in the situation to
begin with. If someone having viewed the video were to confront a family
member about the contents of the video, my personal feeling is that it
would more negatively reflect on the character of that individual.
