I do not claim to represent the people of Norway, but I, also, offer
my sincere condolences. She will be missed not only in the United
Kingdom, but in the entire world.

Her namesake, the Roman Goddess Diana, was considered the workers'
goddess, the people's goddess. She bore her name well. Unlike so many
others, her actions spoke of both engagement and compassion. When she
hugged someone dying of aids at a time when others didn't even dare
to stay in the room with them, or champion the struggle to make land
mines illegal, that shows a far deeper commitment to do right than
most. I believe her actions were to do good, rather than to appear to
do good.

I can honestly say that I never bought a so-called tabloid newspaper.
But I saw the headlines. Diana this. Diana that. I have often
wondered how it would be to have the paparazzis after me. My
invariable conclusion is, I wouldn't. And you hear the 'public
persons' saying, 'please leave us alone; we do not want our privacy
invaded.'. The answer is, invariably, 'you're public persons; you do
not have a right to privacy. It's the cost of being famous'. How
would it be to be subject to phone tapping, constant surveillance,
without being able to do anything about it?. It would be hell. But
you can get used to anything that doesn't kill you, they say. And so
I've thought, as well.

But what if it does kill you?

No doubt the paparazzis took photos during the chase; presumably also
of the crash, of Diana and the egyptian, the bodyguard.. and not
lifting a hand to help. There is money in taking photos, not saving
lives. In killing, not helping. And in the coming days, they will
sell these photos to the highest bidder.

Anyone that buys these will have blood on their hands. Let her have
that moment in privacy, if none other.

Sincerely

Rune Fostervoll

Message no. 4 I as well add my condolences. I feel greatly for her two sons, this will
surely shape their young lives in a profound way.
Diana will be missed by many, but her causes will not. Even in death her
causes continue as the public debates the 'rightness' of the papparazzi and
their hounding of the Princess of Whales. Maybe we can again learn from
Diana's tragedy.
Often, I have a cynic's outlook on the future. I wonder (as many have in
time past), What will the future hold? Do I really want to know? If there
is a future in which someone can be responsible for anothers death and then
sell pictures of it to the mass media? It's just too horrific to
contemplate. Unfortunately, I am sure I will have to in the next week or so.
For now, let us mourn the loss of a great lady and the senseless loss of
life that happened yesterday in Paris

... and Rwanda, and New York, Los Angeles, Bangkok, Cape Town, and Seattle.

There is talk of their asking price being about $1 million. Thankfully though,
it looks like the press are going to boycott those photos. (At least for now
anyway).
