text: Your post reminds me of the old Phil Ochs song "Outside A Small Circle of Friends."
  
  "Oh look outside the window, there's a woman being grabbed
  They've dragged her to the bushes and now she's being stabbed
  Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain
  But Monopoly is so much fun, I'd hate to blow the game
  And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
  Outside of a small circle of friends"
