Hi - you wrote:

Your reasoning sounds a little bit like the thought processes of moral relativism. It's different I know, but it's like saying 3,000 people died in New York? So what, that many people die of hunger every day.

Just as a factoid to add to your collection - about 40K people starve to death every day. FWIW.

Back to your regularly scheduled flamefest ;-)

FRegards,

This was not meant to be an attack. I have written a few responses to him explaining why I don't agree with his post and explained my opinion on the matter. No flame intended.

To me, it is flawed reasoning to say that every kidnapping case should get the same media coverage. I don't think it should. Chandra Levy got even more media coverage and nobody seemed to blame the attention on the fact that her family was rich, white, democrat, religious, or what not. We all know that it got the attention it did because of politics and nobody seemed to care. She wasn't even an innocent little girl, like these other two cases.
