A while back I made the point that media attention to an event determines public interest. The explosion in West as compared to the Boston bombing had more victims, caused greater damage, and was likely enabled by corporate negligence and malfeasance. Yet, this disaster received comparatively little national attention and a month later the cause is still undetermined.

Will justice be served? Does anyone still care? Apparently not.

We saw the fire marshall with the Cameron Todd Willingham fire
and the ATF at the Branch Davidian compound.
