That's not the fifteen minutes of fame you want

Why does everything have to be a "national tragedy" these days? And why do we all have to get together and cry about it? What's the point of all this public grief? It's just another ploy for attention, like people who claim to have been traumatised by 9/11 when it really had no effect on thier lives other than they were looking for an excuse to wig out. Any horrible human tragedy and people are grabbing onto it's coat-tails in a desperate Bid for Attention. James Roszko's brother is perfect example of this: sending condolences was a nice thing to do and he should have done so and then shut up about it, because it's no longer a kind, caring gesture if you want everyone to know about it. It's just attention-seeking.
