But that was kind of my point.

What’s the death toll in the ME right now? What are the real numbers of killed and injured service men and women? What’s the actual physical condition of the Gaza Strip right now?

Meanwhile stateside we talk about the Oscars around the water cooler this morning. Life goes on, we pay a little more for gas at the pump, and none of our media can be trusted in this administration, but other than that life here is kind of disassociated from all that chaos and death that’s going on right now.

My original response was to the OP, about how “life goes on”, and what it’s going to take to mobilize enough Americans to change that.
