"Aany man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee." John Donne, Meditation XVII.
True enough, if you must take the high road, but I think even John Donne would have to agree that not all deaths are equally diminishing. Until Dick Cheney passes, Brietbart's sudden departure sets some kind of standard for un-diminishing death.
RIP, and all that, I guess.
