Before giving in to the urge of writing an incendiary comment about irresponsible fuckers who deserve to die when you read an article online about a young motorcyclist who, changing lanes at high speed in an intersection, stroke a car that had the right of way, and passed away from his injuries at the scene, do take a minute to think about the fact that this young motorcyclist may have had redeeming qualities in the eyes of the family, friends, and acquaintances who will read what you write.

Even if you don't give a flying fuck about the fact that he was kind, generous, stubborn about things that really mattered, witty and personable ; a brilliant student, devoted to all sorts of humanitarian causes, who spent a good chunk of his free time teaching English to immigrants, helping poor people getting health care, or volunteering at the AIDS foundation.

Tommy, you're already sorely missed. Don't listen to the assholes on the Internet.
