It is very strange when you realize you care about something you thought you really didn't care about.  Something you thought, "Well, if it just goes away, I'll be okay with that," but then it gets threatened and you realize...well, you realize you'd be sad.  And so, like a den mother, I must protect my bears.  And I will.  Nobody said this thing would be easy.  But I'm a big bear.  And I suddenly care.
