The grocer is so far removed from where the food is grown... <sensitive and thinking> I think I'm like most people--sensitive to things that are close to me, family and friends, local events and such. But when things are far removed from your world, it is very easy to maintain emotional detatchment. It's probably hard coded-- a person would go insane if he were completely sympathetic to everything he heard or saw. Not saying there isn't a nobler better way of living. I just don't get too worked up about suffering, human or animal. Global warming doesn't scare me. To be honest, the 7 teradollar US debt does not keep me up at night. Maybe Avian flu burns out after only killing a few tens of thousands, maybe it is gone even sooner than that? But I'm not an expert, and ignorance is bliss. The biggest problems in my life are the common cold and the neighbor's barking dogs. It's enough. <Avian flu world's No. 1 threat> What happened to global warming and terrorism? And for a day, there was even an asteroid that was a threat. Statistically, humans probably have 5000 years to go. It's enough.
