In reply to the discussion: People on here should not be allowed to advocate for health care reform [View all]Abnredleg
(669 posts)57. I understand completely
I think part of the problem is how people deal with situations like this. I'm an introverted IT geek, and once I get past the initial shock I go into analysis mode, trying to figure out solutions and the pathway to that solution. Anger then becomes an obstacle to clear thinking (I'm speaking strictly of myself here). I'm not an overly emotionally demonstrative person but that doesn't mean I don't care. If I reject a proposal you might make, it's because I don't think it will be effective, not that I'm indifferent to the death of children.
