Thanks for your responses Kat and Cari.
I realize that the 'apple carts' have been turned as Kat said. There is nothing wrong in everyone talking about this. All I wanted to do was identify w G for his feelings or lack of feelings. Everyone is different. I just want to speak for all those who are responding to this in different ways than the media emotional blitz. That's all. All the non-flagwavers and non-candlelighters out there still have their own practical ways of dealing with something that has affected us all. Just because they don't make their compassion visible in the same ways as those around them doesn't mean it's not there. There is no question of tolerance here, when stores close, when the news becomes monolithic for a moment, when everyone talks about IT, the need for tolerance is sort of imposed. That's part of living in society. Anyway, I realize us humans have a need for this. So, no complaints out of me. Some of us are just looking for new topics.
