I understand what people are saying about her being like your grandma. Of course, she is not literally your grandmother or my grandmother. If that’s really your interpretation to what someone said, I don’t know what to say.

It seems odd, you say you can’t have empathy about something that never happened to you. I’m sure the vast majority of us have never been kidnapped or had a family member kidnapped.

Well, have your opinion such as it is.

That’s my point. (That’s why the word you are looking for is “Sympathy”, btw)

You still haven’t answered the question.

Why should we care about a news organization celebrity relation? Or maybe more to the point, why don’t the news organizations care about all those missing people? Never heard a peep about it. But we’re all supposed to get exercised about this - to the exclusion of a great many very important issues of our time. It sucks all the air out of the room, so to speak. Or so I’m told, I haven’t watched any of it since about 2012, but from what I’m hearing it’s 24/7 right now. See where I’m goin’ with that?
