I read this twice and I still can't believe that someone would write it.

As I follow your arguement, it is 'scale' that determines the amount of
'fuss' something should recieves.

I don't think 'laughter' would be the response to hearing about crime.

For example: I wouldn't 'laugh' if I read about a man beating up his wife
halfway around the word simply because I was in the middle of a war zone.
