Maybe people in internet communities like ours care more...

...because we're used to caring about people that we can't see. And also, we know and love people who live all over the place and have all kinds of jobs, lifestyles, etc. So people who are suffering far away don't seem so removed to us.

Just responding to a couple folks who have mentioned trying to talk to other who just don't want to hear it. And thinking about why we all flock together.

But I'm probably not being too clear 'cause it's late and I'm a little drunk.

Can anyone help me out with this thesis?
