Ippy ya loon!!!
Not knowing that a dozen people in my area died, and not caring are two very different things. I have never met the guy three blocks over, but if he had a tragic accident and I heard about it, I would feel just as bad.
Personally, I avoid the whole subject as much as I possibly can. Try never to watch the "local" news, which is just another way of saying tragic death. When it's a celebrity, it's damn near impossible to avoid.
Now I pour out some of this delicious Chenin Blanc for the homies, I mean all those who have died.
