I did see something about George Smith last night. A very sad story. I think the reason why that's not as much in the news is that they don't have a photogenic family member out there beating the bushes the way Beth has. George's bride is now with her family and is in seclusion. Natalee is a beautiful young woman with an attractive family. When we're dealing with a medium that is based on visuals, that is important. As the make-up of our society changes and our values change, what is highlighted on TV will change as well. It's all about ratings.

I don't discount what you're saying about the atractiveness of the victim. But, much of the attention is due to the 24/7 effort put out by Beth Holloway. The family is doing more than the average.

You said it yourself: Mrs. Smith is with the family IN SECLUSION. How's that going to bring the groom's perp to justice?

Exactly. You're the only one here who gets it. If George's bride doesn't do something about it, nobody else would either. That's the tragedy.
