I wonder how much publicity this would have received, if it hadn't have been Malaysian Airlines 2 nd loss? ( well, not actually a loss, they have found this one ), meanwhile in Syria, Afghanistan, Israel/Gaza, Ukraine, etc, etc, people are dying everyday, and have been/will be, for a long time yet.

Yes Chris, and I am sure wherever they are those who loose thier lives as a result of humanities ( a term I use very loosely)envy or gealousy of others, will be in all our prayers and concerns. It never ceases to bewilder me as to why humans need to cause pain to others, even in the display of ones grief there are those who would belittle the suffering of others by comparing it with other equal or greater events, when we are in pain we need that time, with respect. Our pain is just that,our's. lol Mark
