Ok. Now I feel old.

So this morning, I'm trolling my usual spate of blogs and run across this entry at Unfogged about BigLaw working conditions.

...On an upbeat note, I felt a slight tinge of joy on reading in that wikipedia link that Martha Siegel is dead.

Is that wrong?

That is a great question.
In ethics, Wrong and Right are relativistic, imo.
Is anything that isn't Right, Wrong
or is it more that everything that isn't Wrong is all Right?

Siegal was a human being. She has (maybe) died, you feel a bit of joy at that. Is pleasure in another's death fundamentally wrong? We all die in the end, so it isn't merely her death you like(?), it is her early death, or the fact she is gone (while you are still here)?
I guess it feels different depending on one's perspective of the individual involved. If someone felt good about the death of an obviously good person, that feels more wrong than feeling good about a villain's death.
