Angry, I think because it is so senseless and needless. It's upseting
to see people killing their families in stupid ways.


What's the point in being angry? Stupid or careless people kill their
families every day. How is this any different, for example, from this
highway accident:
http://www.nwcn.com/topstories/stori....200c3bb7.html
The father had FIVE of his kids in his truck, at least some of whom were not
wearing seatbelts. Someone else caused the accident, but the father's
negligence is likely what led to the death of his children. Of course,
there are daily examples of even more direct irresponsibility on the part of
parents.

Getting angry over this sort of thing is useless, and if you want to be
consistent about it, you'll be angry 100% of your time. It never stops.

I think it's sad that people died, children or adults. But death is a fact
of life. A certain percentage of us will die "senselessly" or "needlessly",
and for the most part when society figures out a way to prevent that from
happening, individuals figure out new ways to get around it and die anyway.

Hell, most of our senseless deaths are still related to smoking or
gluttonous eating habits. Accidents make the news, but they aren't what
accounts for a major part of our death rate. Funny people should get so
worked up over the former rather than the latter, then.

Anger as an emotional response to an accident like this is draining,
stressful, and misdirected. **** happens. Save the anger for things that
matter (like politicians who break the law, lie about it until they are
exposed, and then claim that they don't have to obey the law).

Pete
