it's a cold world
The coldness and inhumanity some show towards others doesn't usually phase me. I have seen some very cold things in my lifetime. The following article, http://news.scotsman.com/world/Beachgoers-sunbathe--beside-bodies.4306821.jp , shows how things are in some of the other parts of the world (Italy), where they feign shock at some of our news. Two children, both Gypsy, as the article reminds the reader repeatedly, drown at a popular beach and beach goers aren't phased by their lifeless bodies lying near them on the beach. So much is made about their ethnicity in the article that you wonder if anyone even cared about the tragedy other that the friends and families of the victims. The article states clearly how the kids were there to "beg". I guess begging disqualifies you from receiving compassion in the land of the Pope. Anyone planning on vacationing in Italy should boycott Naples at least, if not the whole country. And don't buy sardines or salami either.
