THAILAND CAVE RESCUE: Why do 12 boys stuck in a cave have me glued to my screen?

I'm in Bangkok, Thailand—during the time of so much human turmoil around the world. Natural disasters and man-made disasters and mass hysteria—floods in Japan, children in cages, Syria, volcanoes, plane crashes.

And there’s the craziness with real emotion—joy, tears, despair, hatred, hooliganism at the horrendously expensive entertainment of the FIFA World Cup in Russia. We pay to gain ... humiliation, degradation, disdain and debt.
