Fair enough. At least you and other posters are being honest and not merely feigning sympathy just for the hell of it. This comment isn't necessarily directed to you, but to everyone who has expressed similar sentiments....perhaps you wouldn't be so apathetic about this if you lived near, or you had lost friends, relatives, or coworkers in some of the examples you quoted earlier. That's too bad, I hope you never do experience such a loss. Many of us have.
I just can't understand the "I don't care, it's not me" attitude.
