Home Thoughts Compassion Is So Yesterday?

PostHeaderIcon Compassion Is So Yesterday?

I'm not going to rail about the Tennessee fire debacle, where a group of so called firemen allowed a family's house to burn down with all their belongings, and also their pets inside because they forgot to pay $75.00. At least not for long... 

Just a few questions really, like how could anyone ever refer to these people as firemen ever again, I don't even like using the term people, but I guess when compared to other human behavior we see, it is an apt description.

I think Fire-Goons would be one description I could at least be comfortable with, most of the descriptive terms I would like to use are R rated, and they come with a complementary baseball bat, and free trip to the hospital. Woohoo!

Oh wait.... there is no such thing as a free trip to the hospital... that would be socialism.

On a side note, many props to the son of the family who clocked the chief "Fire-Goon" in the face. (maybe the chief got a free trip to the hospital)

My other question is this, at what point did we as humans decide that money, and the pursuit of money, is more valuable than human life... no, not just human life, ALL LIFE?

When we can answer that question, maybe we could actually go about making this world a decent place to live for all of us, and hopefully the next generations of LIFE as well.

Joshua..It is strange that of all the things that happened this past year..this one upset me the most. I know politicians are from the outset suspect in their motives. I can understand a political party scapegoating one group to advance its popularity with another. But I cannot fathom people who are life savers becoming killers because of $75. My father was a pharmacist for 40 years. He often told a poor person who couldn't afford the medicine. You will pay me when you get the money. He always got the money...because people understood what he was all about. He taught me character is something you don't talk about. It is in your deeds and in your music.
