John, just for clarification (for you or anyone else), I don’t think you are callous–I know you’re not–but the comment sounded callous even when (as I tried to express in my post and you have now) you were making a practical and true point. You/me can’t be spending your day worried about things that have nothing to do with you. I just didn’t want “I don’t care about Egyptians” to stand without further comment or elucidation. I know the web too well.
