After reading this I am ashamed I pinged you on that sketchy article earlier. Apologies are tendered.
Hey, no apologies required, I was tempted to write more in reply and decided against it simply because the article was so lacking in depth; this tragic event was reported on Australian TV news, and for the life of me I couldn't understand why...we had a similar tragedy in this country not long ago, three or four children died in a housefire - a sleep-over, and I bet you not one word was printed about that in the US press! Am I becoming paranoid? Does your MSM take delight in bad news to the extent that family tragedies must we broadcast worldwide?
Whoops, I wonder if they have house-fires in socialist countries? (Of course not, LOL!)
Now it's my turn to apologise, that comment was off-topic, but I'm pleased you enjoyed Hitchens.
