i can actually say I have lost some sleep over it.
the other night we were camping and I couldn't sleep and i was thinking about the BS we get all up in arms over here over minute crap(Sterling, Bengazi, Michael Sam) and there are really terrible atrocities going on elsewhere.
I understand out of sight, out of mind, but I wish that sometimes people had perspective and thought "man it sucks that Mr./Mrs. Smith is such a bigot/homophobe/jerk/whatever, but i'm glad i live in a country where the most radical amongst us don't get to kill/silence dissenting viewpoints"

It certainly sucks, and that life shouldn't be afforded to anyone -- but it's happening in a lot of other places. What's a real shame is that people use this to say that they're worldly, while being completely ignorant of Syria, Ukraine, India, Pakistan, list goes on and on.
