Big earthquake in South Asia

[RunDownHouse]

Before 9/11 (and Katrina, to an extent I haven't determined yet), I would have shrugged this off as previous posters have. As kind of a "Wow, that sucks. Hey, what's the KU/KSU score?"

Now, I feel real sorrow when I read about those types of things. I don't know if that means that I used to be horribly shallow and callous, or if it means that I'm now an overly-sensitive bleeding-heart liberal, or somewhere in the middle. But no matter where it falls, I think I'm a better. more mature person for feeling that sympathy.

EDIT: The KU/KSU example was used because I had money on the game, but not a significant amount. I don't give a [censored] about either team, so it was the most shallow, selfish, superficial thing I could think of off the top of my head.
