I think it's more a matter of taking refuge in what feels safe and sane,
rather than callousness over what happened. I don't watch television, but
the radio and newspaper reports -- the mind just staggers.
Since we live near a large body of water (Lake Michigan, admittedly no
ocean, but you certainly can't see Wisconsin from here), we have had to
explain to our son that a tsunami is unlikely to "get" us.
He has already had to deal with the still-strong possibility of his dad
being deployed to Iraq ("Why can't those Iraq people come here?" he asked
me), and now he has to worry that the lake will wash him away. *sigh*
My heart just goes out to the thousands and thousands affected.
