We hear about another horrific disaster every time we turn around so mostly the reaction is to stop turning around.<br /><br />I do maintain the language and the delivery are making one hell of a mess out of situations which are difficult enough anyway. One of the biggest, in my view, is blowing past the fact it doesn't take any conspiracy for car attacks of this nature. All it takes is a freakshow with the car keys and he rolls as soon as his parakeet tells him the time is right. There's so much smoke everywhere.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152407256780002310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926870823165438047.post-38201143267611055172017-03-25T05:07:58.127-05:002017-03-25T05:07:58.127-05:00I understand your point of the journos grandstandi...I understand your point of the journos grandstanding.

It's use of 'catastrophe' in both circumstances which makes no sense to me.<br /><br />Loss of anyone is a major flaming bitch and it sucks for their families in London. The bell does toll for thee but Lockerbie was ringing so many bells it shook the ground. That was an international catastrophe.<br /><br />All the reports of violent death in the world are leaving me inured to it and dismissive of most of it with what did you expect to happen. They heap dramatic words on any hurt while they continue bombing elsewhere and the circle keeps going around and around. For me it presents a cacophonous roar of utter madness.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152407256780002310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926870823165438047.post-58465095401212891742017-03-23T15:21:21.523-05:002017-03-23T15:21:21.523-05:00I agree with Anonymous.

It matters not the social, political and religious insanity in whose name these vile acts are done. This includes the Lockerbie flight and so many other incidents. Right now, it is only proper that we reach out with care, concern and sympathy for these recent innocent victims and their families, as each loss makes us the less. The sanctity of life is expressed well in a quote from a seventeenth century British poet, John Donne: <br />"Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee."<br />Cadillac Mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926870823165438047.post-90844944634768733072017-03-23T11:22:07.371-05:002017-03-23T11:22:07.371-05:00That right who cares about about 4+ lives.
