For most people, other peoples lives tend to not be a concern to them until they have reason to do so. This isn't due to apathy, but a simple lack of concern, awareness, and priority of focus. You care for yours, I care for mine, and don't subscribe to the idea that others will, at least not to the degree you would for your own. I bare no enmity to people of goodwill, but those whom would seek to do me harm are another matter entirely.

While I am agreeable to the idea that all lives matter, I will never shy away from asserting that American Christian lives are the ones which will matter the most to me. Does this mean I hate other lives? Not in the least, but the morally ill people reading this will intuitively decide that I hate them, because only their life matters to them and they're not Christian.
