Drose, I happen to know a few people who would love to see hourly updates on
cancer research development. People who actually have cancer would appreciate
this kind of information. Likewise, AIDS info. But no channels offer this.
What we do get, on every single one of the major news channels, is hourly
stock market updates. I find this to be very telling about today's society;
we're more interested in money than lives.
Sadly, cancer would probably be a thing of the past by now if as many people
were interested in it rather than playing the stock market.
Should we really question the mental health of a person who wishes to stay as
informed about cancer research as much as the stock market? If so, then that
is a sad commentary on today's society. It says, people who care about money
are sane, but people who care about people are crazy.
It all reflects my original point; people are considered crazy these days if
they don't put money on the top of their list. Those who do otherwise are
considered ideological fools. The attitude is, make money first. Help other
people later, at your leisure, if at all.
