I feel so sad about Ritter casue he was just on a come back. At least he went out on top. Used to watch three's compnay as a kid and would call it the Jack Tripper show. It is always worse when someone dies suddley like that.

Johnny Cash was one of a kind and will never be replaced in the world of music. Another great lose.

Didn't know that one (about him passing, not about him).

I've always been curious of statements like this.

And nothing against Sintax, I believe his sincerity 125%...

but would it have been better if John Ritter had a long drawn out illness? Is it better when someone lives to 100 yrs, with the last 15 being a physical if not mental vegetable (Bob Hope)?

People are always saying "He didn't deserve to die that way."

I am always curious, "how did he deserve to die?" In his sleep, with a hooker and a smile on his face?

The tears may flow
But my heart won't show
The pain in feel inside
For throughout their lives
They always tried
To make me feel good about mine

That is a good point rev.

Personally I would much rather an unexpected slug to the back of my dome than to have to endure years of kemotherepy and radiation treatments to delay the enevidible (in most cases)

I have had the unpleasent experience of seeing a couple loved ones in my day go through that and its not for me.

On the John Ritter note, did anyone ever see the Movie Flight of the Dragons? Its an old cartoon and the main character was the voice of John Ritter. I must have watched that move 300 times when I was a little tyke.
