The shrines to Princess Diana were bad enough but, such is the price of technological progress, now we have iShrines erected to Steve Jobs along with 
weeping women and sniffling men.
We do need heroes, of course, but we seem to have developed an uncanny knack for picking the wrong people: the day Diana died, Mother Teresa died; the day President Kennedy died, C. S. Lewis died. On October 5th, 2011, Steve Jobs died; so did Arthur Leroy Brooks of Stratford but he is ignored even though he didn’t fill the world with irritating mobile phones whose batteries can’t be changed unless you send them back to the factory.

a supporter of homosexuals
a patron of HIV/Aids
an adulterous (while still married to Charles)

Mother Teresa on the other hand was:
a Christian
