It's not a big enough difference maker for most of us to ever truly need it. An amber alert for a kid thousands of miles away? No thanks, because that is what I got the vast majority of the time.

Life is too short for such invasive stress.

I turned amber alerts off. The only time alerts have come through is tornado or flash flood warnings.

Those amber alerts aren't about you.
