heres a thought, and I'm not having a dig at you BTW.

if everyone has this level of complacency (and i certainly do), then how
much of an impact would an event have to have before we got involved in
it.

i.e. if people sit around watching telly, not thinking for themselves
and being told what to think by broadcasters.  it might possibly take
something of this magnitude and impact to motivate them to-do something.

a few thousand people slaughtered in a sky scraper is a bad thing, but
thousands of people die every day in the third world.  yet we don't see
the great American people rallying together to address that problem.
