    ...a crash of a 777 on landing in sfo that killed a few people...

They died to be reincarnated as a meme.

It's more than a bit fucked up that a meme is what triggered my memory of the event. I've tried at least nine sentence #2's in this paragraph, and they all flopped. (ah, finally, and I avoided making a relevant statement)

I wish I had the capacity to remember and appreciate each human life's contributions to humanity. And the capacity to reconcile this postmortem romanticism with the pessimism I feel towards those still living.
