Ignorance is bliss

I was on the phone to my wife the other day and happened to mention the Jakarta bombing of the Australian Embassy. She hadn't heard of it. So I (mischevious bastard that I am) asked if she'd heard of the Beslan Massacre. She hadn't. She had noticed some flags at half mast and wondered if perhaps a president (maybe Ford) had died but that was the extent of it.

I shouldn't have been surprised. I've noticed quite a few people who've stopped following any kind of news over the last few years.
