the other day in my endless channel hopping quest , i happened upon a program that was indeed quite interesting in its cheerful demeanor of highlighting some of the most ghastly things that modern society has visited on us.
smoking - a whole lot of people ravaged by cancer turn out at the cigarette makers on Xmas day to heartily sing Xmas carols in metallic voices.
pollution - giving a statue to a guy who was the biggest polluter in that country.
nuclear war - the denizens of the (then - this was an old program) new entrants to the "Mile-high Club" were asked how much they spent on anti-fallout shelters ? they spent millions of non-tax evaders slaves on finding a Decisive Deterrent - and provide NOTHING for the people who will be decimated if they decide to go play someday.
this reinforced my belief - "there are so many people on earth, that there is a set of people , to which losing some of us would cause no more remorse than if you or I (meaning the normal people) were to step on a couple of tiny ants.
i despair, indeed i despair.
