Inspirational Story ....
... from a regular guy who is also famous. I have been watching Roger Ebert on his movie critique show for years. After leaving the show due to illness, many fans of the show have been wondering where he is and how he is doing.

One day a person in my Information Security class mentioned he was sick to think of the kinds of things people do with exploits and technology. Today, I am sick to think that for one moment someone in the "paparazzi" or its very twisted fanbase would be cruel or unkind (as mentioned in the article) toward a person who has gone through a situation like this.
Thank you Roger Ebert for being stand up about your job as a critic, about your courage through the medical challenges, and for getting out there again like a man just making a living. With no apologies.

And he gets away with it. But so do his copycats mentioned above even though they offend us every day with a "conservative" brand of hatred mixed with a dash of an insulting view of others opinions, race, religion, and economic situations.
One day I hope to find an intellectual explanation for this.
