Support Columbia
Wow, you are right about the names being for sale to begin with. I never really thought the situation through when I posted the "totally sick" comment. I think it is distaseful, but probably a sign of the times more than anything. There are probably domain names in existence for just about every possible thing that has a possibility of occuring.
I really have mixed feelings about the "Support Columbia" store. It would be better if the proceeds were to go to the surviving families in some way. It looks like someone is trying to turn the quick buck by converting an existing online store into a "speciality" store. But again this too is most likely a sign of the times as were the Chinese made American flags that were being sold after 911.
I am an older guy "62". This type of enterprise would have gotten someone lynched in the early years of NASA. I came to this forum with a lot preconceived ideas and I am only now realizing that not only have times changed and it isn't 1962 anymore, but society has changed so much. Most of all it is sad to see things that, once were inconceivable, are now just business as usual.
All this reminds me of how the current news media, especially television, has a previously taped biography of most celebrity, and high profile people to be shown upon that persons death.
