Subject: Sad tidings for seven....

Firstly I'd like to say that I feel bad for the families that lost their loved one in the destruction of Columbia. My prayers were with them on Saturday and Sunday.

However, and I say this cautiously lest I seem like some sort of evil person, I must ask if anyone else didn't seem as shocked as they might have had this happened in 2000? When I watched it my thoughts flew right to, what went wrong with the ship, rather then "Oh My Gosh, seven people just died on national TV." I'm wondering if, somehow, 9-11 didn't warp some people's sense of death. Maybe it was the fact that it was so sudden, but still it's bothering me that I'm not upset about this. Heck I'm sure that there were jokes out on the net as it was happening,or a few minutes after.

As a whole do you think in this post 9/11 world, were we hear of death on a constant, daily basis (such as in the news and such), that this generation, and the younger generation, is has fallen into a numbness over death. That it's become, well Passe to actually fear it? Check out the movies we put out on the subject, Final Desitination 1&2 and other horror films that subject the characters to horrific deaths. I mean, really have we, as a socity become immune to the idea that death is a real threat? And is that a good thing? or Bad?
