I'm not sure what fake nick you are, but I'll bite.
This is not true at all. We do care. Yesterday on the front page of both Yahoo news and CNN was an article about a fifteen year old girl who was shot dead in Chicago Tuesday - very sad. There was another article going around a woman who lost her son this past weekend, shot to death - her fourth child to die from being shot to death.
It's not that we don't care about diabetics. My friend is a diabetic. He could change his lifestyle habits any time he wants but over the past twenty-five years hasn't bothered. We all had the same education in school; They taught us what to do eat. Some of us paid attention and some of us didn't. If being healthy isn't a top priority for you, you'll pay for it later. (I"m still kicking myself for smoking for twenty years.)
The problem is when people kill people in bulk for no reason. We had a murder here in town last year, first one in tweny-five years, and it shocked us - but it's hardly going to be news four hundred miles away in LA.
