I consider the needless loss of any life to be a tragedy. These are all human beings. All precautions should be taken to avoid the needless loss of life. Whether it impacts you emotionally or not; lives do matter and it is at the very least illogical to destroy senselessly.

A dollar bill has no emotional impact on me, but if I were to burn it, it would be a senseless waste. Destruction without purpose, or destroying the wrong target, is at the very least a bad mistake, and at worst a crime. Now instead of one dollar bill, imagine a hundred thousand, burning them one at a time with deliberate intent. Seems a hundred thousand times more wasteful, and a lot more of a crime. Now imagine instead of silly paper money, these are living human beings, which are valued immeasurably more than a dollar, and cannot even be quantified in such terms.

It is an unfathomable waste, and a cruel cruel bit of ignorance, to have no reaction to senseless death. If you don't care, that's fine; just make sure you don't vote or anything. If apathy is the watchword, follow through and remain totally neutral. Don't speak out for or against it; and don't affect the democratic process, should there be one.
