for james:

Prior to his injury, the liberal causes and charities Reeve had been involved with on the arts, environment, children, and human rights had equal priority for him with his career in the performing arts. A few of them are: Amnesty International, Save the Children, The National Resources Defense Council, The Lindbergh Foundation, The Environmental Air Force, and People for the American Way. He is a founding member and past president of the Creative Coalition, an advocacy group of artists, and has been one of the National Endowment For The Arts most passionate supporters. In 1987, he faced tear gas and real personal danger when Chilean writer Ariel Dorfman asked him to travel to Chile and lead a demonstration in support of 77 artists targeted with death warrants by the Pinochet government. For his successful efforts to free the artists, Reeve received a special Obie Award in 1988 and an annual award from the Walter Briehl Human Rights Foundation. The sobering experience also reinforced his commitment to advocacy work, which by the late 1980's was competing with his career for his time. Environmental issues have been of particular interest to Reeve. He addressed the United Nations to encourage the banning of drift net tuna fishing and he played a crucial role in securing a landmark agreement to protect the Hudson River and New York City's reservoir system.

i believe you owe a great man an apology.

PS: the other stuff on that page is very interesting. he was a very good classical pianist, and flew across the atlantic twice, piloting his own little plane. he did his own stunts, etc etc.

If I wouldn't have known what kind of a person Reeve was, I'd have probably said something stupid which has a connection with cryptonite.
Life sucks sometimes and I think we all should try to be more like him.

Everyone knows the children can't be saved, the parents need condoms. I don't have to apologize for anything because well, you know, that's just the way things work. Altruism is a waste.

I have such a raw socially sophisticated attitude and nonconformist sense of humour that I can jest about the death of a great human being -oh yeah, you know I'm 'out there'...

God our gene pool needs some chorine.

Alright, I can see how laughing about death is ok, because laughing helps us get through stuff, but I can't understand how you could laugh at a great man like Christopher Reeve. Anyone with that much perservierence deserves respect.

Laughing at someone doesn't mean you don't respect them. I always feel from watching the news that American's are much more serious about things than Australians - and that Australian's (and maybe other cultures - I don't know) are much more prepared to have a go at things and bag things out than Americans are. American's tend to only bag things out and take the piss over things they would be negative about anyway. I don't know if this post has a point or not - just an observation that has led to me rambling on about nothing like an old man who should have died 10 years ago when he was still on top - or at least in more control of his thoughts than he is now.

well as long as you respect him then I'd say make fun of whatever you want Jeremy

Hey Ben how do you know so much about me??!

Not everything is a waste. Trees are pretty useful, and swim bladders too.
