Thank you for your confirmations... it is kinda hilarious really, if it wasn't so sad.
Alice I love your soapbox idea, think I might install one myself!
Yes... whenever tragedy befalls anyone on the news my husband straight away looks to me and says, "See, this is why we need to be careful about this blah blah blah". Constant morals to the story that apply to us. A lady I knew died recently, at a young age with three young children. The first thing he said was "That's why we need to be grateful for how lucky we are," and I said "I don't really care about being grateful right now, I'm sad about my poor friend that just died." He shut up after that.
