some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs

Yeah, my wife was going on about the people who had been killed by the fires and she didnt get much of a reaction out of me, and the I said "look at the burnt beetle" and then I copped an earful about being more concerned about a "car" than about human life. Anyway I told her that there were far more people in the world than there are beetles so they are the more endangered species.

Saw it and my reaction was the same, poor bug. But, crap, have people forgotten what to do in bushfires? have we been that safe and lucky for 20yrs??? From what I heard last night, the majority of deaths were in cars???

The people losing their lives is absolutely awful.

I'm afraid though that I, too, didn't react anywhere near as depressed about the people as I did about the dub.

Am I a bad person? :o🙁

I don't think we are bad people, We just know the Beetle can't run away by it's self and it was left behind:o
