Umm shogunkid I think if you go up and read alltracmans first few lines where he writes
"The focus isn't on him because he died, it's because of how close he came to making it while many others didn't [those kind of burn victims almost never survive], and more importantly, what he did with what he had left.
Most people don't give a $hite about others on their good days.
On his bad day [beats any bad day you or I ever had] he used the bad he received for good.
That's why it's special and important." I think that sums everything up If not im sorry dont read these kind of post or watch the news bc it seems like most people feel for it.

"ummmm" when did i ever say they did a story because he died? never once have i mentioned death. i said suffering in intensive care. i understnad where you're comin from but obviously you don't understand me. TONS of people go through this sh*t. People are going overseas and risking their lives to serve this country. EVERYBODY overseas is doing something for the common good and im sure every day is a bad day for them. they dont wake up every morning and say..."Hey...what a great day to be in Iraq." People suffer just like him...physically, mentally, and emotionally. Being away from home not even seeing their babies being born..im sure tons of those guys/girls have never even met their child before.

what he did was just an added bonus that almost anybody can do. a guy from my church got hit by a car and is now paralyzed from the neck down and has opened up a foundation to help others just like him...where are the news vans??? wheres the media to report it??? i dont ssee him getting any attention. Why not? Ohhh i forgot. he's just some average joe that wont help boost their ratings. i forgot
