Reply #16: You know, whenever someone tells me to "lighten up,"

[MineralMan]

I know they have no real argument. I'm more than aware of what is lost. I'm also aware that efforts are underway to relieve the people who are suffering from this disaster. The description of one man in one situation is not evidence that nobody is helping. It is merely a single point of data. My objection is in the magnification of that single data point to draw a conclusion that is not supported by evidence, and without any attempt to find out whether what that individual described is the norm or an isolated case. I'm complaining about very poor journalism.

So, I don't think I'll follow your order to lighten up. I think I'll continue to post as I see fit.
