I regret that Richard Thompson's close shave with possible death was not a wake-up call to anyone involved in the Jizelle Salandy accident. I mourn the possibility that his escape may have enhanced an aura of invincibility among such pedigree.
It pains me that this is primarily because we are "living it up", the lives of a foreign culture and, at a similar base level, losing touch with our feelings for each other. We seem merely to move on when someone drops dead before our very eyes because, hey, that's his luck, not ours.
I am really, really sorry. My only prayer is not to be part of such carnage that satisfies the morbid lust of those goulds who hold up traffic and line the streets not to aid the afflicted but devour the gore.
