Good grief.

Are you the person who says, "Okay, it's time to just move on now! What's done is done!" halfway through the funeral of somebody's teenage child?

Let's just become robots! How much easier that would be!

These people just watched seven friends die and a priceless asset to their life's work ripped to millions of pieces...and you want them to be Spock.

I am usually a cold-hearted steely person. And as I only followed this mission casually at best, on top of not knowing anyone remotely associated with the space program, I feel like I got hit with a massive gut-shot today. If nothing more but it is never a good thing to have 7 brilliant people of acheivement taken from the world.

I can only imagine what these people who live this feel. If they acted "professional" I would have been disappointed with them.

Actually, the only study ever done on the latter-day "bus in the grief counselors" post-disaster attitude showed that all the counseling ended up making the affected people feel WORSE, and to suffer LONGER. It's liberal claptrap. The people that truly need counseling will seek it out; the rest only end up hurting more by being forced to "talk about their feelings" over and over.
