still working on it
I hope you didn't originate this list, because I have to say I think the concept is in poor taste. It could be redeemed somewhat, however, by choosing some of the most historically or culturally important of these deaths and telling why they are important. That could transform it into a very valuable list.
Poor taste, eh? I suppose it is. I've never heard that complaint before. I did intend to provide more information once I filled in the gaps, though I don't believe a list this clinical needs to have socially redeeming value.
What's in poor taste is aligning just one death with one day of the year - and hunting around for deaths merely to fill in the blanks. These were real people who died real deaths, often in circumstances of extreme injustice. And for many of your days there was probably more than one available death to fill in the blank - so what of those deaths? - are they not worth mentioning just because you already have a death for that date? Throwing the word 'clinical' into the mix is no help to you - clinical studies are done for a purpose, and it's hopefully always a better purpose than filling in blank spaces in a list of days of the year.
Hmmm, I hope you will take this rant in the constructive spirit in which I intend it.
