miss_yt...I am really sick of hearing people say "At least Heath Ledger finished filming on the Batman movie" or something to that effect. One person did say that it was fortunate because he would have what is apparently a stellar performance to leave as part of his legacy, which I can understand. But for everyone else it's more like "whew, our precious entertainment is safe."
I am not a big fan of Ledger, but I think his death - at such a young age, leaving behind a two-year-old daughter - was pointless and tragic, whether it was accidental or the result of a deliberate suicide attempt. Under those circumstances, comments about the Batman movie are pretty damn insensitive.
True, there are a lot of other horrible things going on in the world right now that are more serious than an actor's premature death. In all honesty, those things rile me up more than this does. But it's still sad and I'm still upset that people seem to think the completion of the fiction this person was in is more important than the fact that he was a living, breathing human being, and now he's dead.

2. Someone over in Philadelphia community was asking about a good Asperger's (spelled wrong) doctor. I remembered you did some class and a radio segment last year on working with that class. Do you have a recommendation for this person?
Thanks!
