[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 3992597, member: 22662"] Actually he makes perfect sense. Seems to do with proximity and “size of the pond”. We can all eat a bowl of Cheerios, and barely look at the tv while hearing about genocide two continents away. A terrorist shooting or bombing gets our full attention. Shoot 19 school kids and Congressional committees are formed. Gun control debates rage anew. Fly a couple jets into skyscrapers killing 3000 and the entire world buckles, heaves and changes forever. But when it’s a slow, steady drip of death caused by a crappy, far too expensive healthcare system that takes 40,000 souls a year, one pathetic loser at a time, there is no nation changing revolt. Wouldn’t be my first thought, but it is what it is. [/QUOTE]
