Doug & Jeffrey:
I think I worded my statement rather carefully to convey my sense of emotional detachment. "Not feeling remorse" does NOT mean "condone" "feel happy about" or "encourage."
Why shoud I hold any particular feelings toward people who do their best to isolate themselves from social "undesirables" such as myself. Why should I fake a sense of solidarity in a society where none exists?
Why should I feel concerned about the bombastic news of a few wealthy white kids shooting each other, whereas the death of thousands of dark-skinned or below-the-poverty-level people in inner cities do not even make the news, except perhaps as alarmistic stories of "rising crime" addressed to middle class audiences?
Nihilism? Perhaps. But it is also an effective survival strategy in the world dominated by spin, consumerism, decadent materialism, and political machiavellianism.
