There is a huge difference between those of us who genuinely care about our fellow human beings and the consequences of our actions on them and the 'touchy feely tree hugging brigade'.
Are all the people who laid wreaths, floral tributes and genuine messages of condolence outside the gates of RAF Lyneham following the crash of XV179 to be tarred with your brush.
If giving a damn about your fellow man, mourning their passing and showing your feeling publicly brings us towards a better more caring society then bring it on.
