Want to feel creepy and old?
Today's way-too-late, what-are-we-still-doing-this-for announcement about JonBenet Ramsey made me wonder just how long ago that happened. It was 1996 when the six-year-old was murdered.
Simple math. She'd have been 18 next month.
That's almost as creepy as John Ramsey meeting the mother of another famous dead girl, Natallee Holloway, at a fund raiser and beginning to date her. They met DAYS after his wife died of cancer.
More seriously: I work in an inner-city neighborhood, and stories like this really piss me off. I wonder how many poor 6-year-old girls have died in the last 12 years without much of anyone taking any notice? What's the big deal with this one?
As the father of three young (YOUNG) daughters, anyone killed that young is a tragedy, but as you said yourself, in some places it's not that unusual.
