They'll have to live near something like that to get your point. There's that old saying, " I used to complain because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet."
I mean, I live in OKC and that point still hasn't hit home with me. Im sitting here enjoying my morning coffee and there are parents burying their kids not 20 miles away. Sometimes it takes experience to make us realize how superficial we can be. So, in part I don't blame the ignorance you see on here. Most of us are just too privileged to know the difference.

Thank you for your concern House, it is honestly refreshing to see honest, good natured people such as yourself out there. I still haven't experienced anything like the horror you describe but I can imagine it completely alters your reality. To all of the sudden wake up in a third world country makes you consider things differently I would assume.
Like I said though, seeing good natured people like you and Danny, as well as other friends I have made here, makes me see that humanity is not lost. Reading about the terror attacks in London today, or the people looting in the tornado disaster area makes you forget that sometimes.
