"Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer is a genuinely frightening account of a disastrous 1997 Everest expedition. That mountain has many ways to kill people.

As for this thread... Celebrating death is ugly.

You hurl melodrama like Streisand.

Some news story yesterday cited someone as saying, "The avalanche is a good thing, because there are many corpses and much garbage on Everest". I guess you can fault the gods for not sending out a memo.

Meantime, Mr. Save the Ice would probably consider a sacrifice to Everest's hygiene a worthy one. Cycle of life and all that.

Pointing these things out is not "celebrating death". Using them as devices to highlight the real global menace of the Google franchise is not celebrating death. Even wryly suggesting that the world would be a better place without Google's executives is merely stating fact, not "celebrating death."

Agreed. People such as those on this thread give Conservatives a bad name.
