Thinking about it....

Why have I been so obsessed today with the news about the hurricane in New Orleans, but last week I couldn't read anything about the disengagement?

My theory: Because although you feel intellectually sorry for the people of New Orleans, since you don't know (many?) people there, you don't feel connected to it. But the disengagement involved a place and people with whom you feel a very deep sense of identification. It hit too close to home and to your heart.

Human nature has people slow down and stare at highway accidents. This is the same.
