Joplin

I didn't think twice about the Joplin tornadoes. Until I read some of the stories. The boy with the popular Youtube channel is still missing. There's the grieving woman whose husband sacrificed himself to save her -- "You know, people kept saying he wouldn't have wanted it any other way, but if I could have taken twice as much damage just to have him alive, I would have." And when I saw that video, the one with the father who lost both of his boys...

Once you put faces on a tragedy, that's when it hits you in the gut.
