I should have been more specific - Ashe died with less media fanfare. : Second, if Pedro Zamora elicits sympathy and grief, what's it to you? You : have some objection to his being mourned? There seems to be an excessive amount of news coverage for this one death and the only 3 items mentioned on the news was that he contracted HIV while a young teenager from anonymous sex with another man, he was featured on MTV and regularly spoke to kids about AIDS. The only _unusual_ aspect of Mr Zamora's life that was reported is the MTV connection. Given that, the media coverage seems excessive to me. -- mike zarlenga
