How long must we sing this song? Why can’t people realize that hurting other people, particularly those you profess to love, is just not okay? What is wrong with society that this kind of thing happens every freaking day?

Okay, I’m taking a deep breath now …

So basically, a recently retired teacher named Evelyn Spodnik died after her live-in boyfriend, a mucho classy dude named Barry Winters, doused her with gasoline and set her ablaze (perhaps he was taking Eminem and Rihanna’s “Love the Way You Lie” literally).

It’s hard to avoid coverage of the Casey Anthony trial if you live in the United States.  I mean, what a story, right?  Death is never a happy thing, but the senseless murder of a child is one that hits most of us on a visceral level.

And when you add in the possibility that said child’s mother killed her in cold blood, it grows ever more disturbing.

One would hope that, after nearly ten years, the focus on Chandra Levy would involve the fact that her alleged killer, illegal immigrant Ingmar Guandique from El Salvador, is finally going on trial rather than a rehashing of her affair with former California congressman Gary Condit. Uh … not in this country.

Nope, murder is secondary to risqué, Hollywood-esque plotlines, which Levy’s disappearance featured in abundance. Who cares, really, how this young woman died …
