As for your golden rule-esque comment, I don't think it's a bad thing to say I don't care . If anything, it just shows that I don't value the life of an athlete's parent any more than the lives of others. I don't see why we should care about Gretzky's senior-citizen mom dying when her son is 40+ years old when there are children losing their parents in much sadder (and more newsworthy, which is the point) stories every day.

Well said, sebastian.
