you did not lash out at me...just commenting over the abuse heaped at you for your opinion...

[BobL]

Thanks Jon - and no, I don't consider this abuse (if you want to see me abused, look at how people react when I tell them that I HATE toll roads and don't want our Texas freeways being converted to toll roads).

These tragedies are tough on everyone - some of the accounts were very tough on me (such as a kid being pulled out to sea from his father's grip). But so is slavery in the Sudan and genocide in Cambodia - it just doesn't get reported first hand - so who cares? (cynicism intended)
