Yes, a small fact that always seems to be conveniently left out of media reports, that she and Dodi might well be alive today had they been wearing seatbelts.
I'm somebody who likes to think that they are open to different sides of an argument, and I know that the spreading of deliberate misinformation exists (and sometimes for good reasons...) along with propaganda but there is a point where I think that some people need to accept that ocassionally Sh*t Happens. Bad things happen to good people, and all that.
I really think that some of these 'serious' conspiracy nuts don't have lives - and by that I mean the fact that they seem to spend most of their time in their ivory towers of paranoia, sneering at the 'establishment' and us 'poor, ignorant souls' who don't know 'the truth'. Like for some animal rights extremists, where I believe that it's actually less about the animals and more to do with the fact that they just generally hate humanity (and the world).
Despite what the media (and people with websites dedicated to 'the truth') tries to tell you, there's actually quite a nice world filled with quite nice people out there. And I'm somebody who thinks that modern society bears some striking resemblances to Orwell's '1984' (one of my favourite novels, btw).
