You're both angry old men.
Why wouldn't you care about other people in the US and the rest of the world?  How narrow-minded and parochial can you be that you don't care what happens outside of your own little world in Texas?
Does that mean you did not care about the 9-11 attack?  Because that happened in NY, not Texas, you know.
For your information, people in NY do follow the news outside NY.  Perhaps that is why they have a reputation for being cosmopolitan and you do not.
I know many people in my circle of friends and family that followed the news about the explosion in West, Texas.
