This should be a baby post but...

I should post something about Zach, but it'll wait.

In Hotel Rwanda, Don Cheadle's character and Nick Nolte's character (I think anyway) had a conversation about Americans (and the world) seeing the atrocities happening in Rwanda and doing something about it. One of them responds with something like "No they won't. They'll see it on their TV, think how sad it is, then resume eating their dinner." I remember thinking "no we won't!" at the time.

Every time I see something sad in the news, like at least 12 people killed at an immigration center in NY today, I think of that line. What can I do? Sure, I can say a prayer, but it doesn't feel much different than thinking how sad it is and then resume eating dinner. More often than not, I've moved on to the next news story shortly after reading the sad one.

Typical American? It would seem so.
