Everyone felt sorry for Ken Bigley, but did they grieve? I didn't. I only grieve for those I know personally and am close to. I feel that this is the appropriate way to behave. Quite honestly, I was more upset when my cat died that when I heard about Ken Bigley. I felt angry at the man's treatment and at his execution, but I did not grieve. Anyway,the article was about public grief and it's mawkish display. I am always suspect about people who emote over the death of a public figure-and that is what Ken Bigley became. It suggests a lack of perspective. This attitude seems particularly widespread in Liverpool.
