Wisdom-->: "A full course malaria treatment costs $0.50. So saving one life can cost two shiny quarters. Since we've already tried to bring about peace for some time now by killing people how bout we try bringing peace by saving people. Maybe just for a few years to see how it works out."
So, for the cost of one months worth of war we could hook up 24 billion people with something that could save their lives? Huh. Seems like a pretty easy choice doesn't it? Remember that the next time you feel compelled to fill up your tank or vote republican (yeah, I know that the democrats are not much better). Would you rather drive to work for 10 dollars or save a human life? Yeah, they're probably worthless like the rest of humanity (I am seriously hoping for a cataclysm around 2012) but they deserve a chance to show how worthless they are. Who knows? One of those kids dying for no other reason than poverty might have the answer. I'd rather bet on that than betting that killing enough brown people will enable me to eat a blooming onion or drive a escalade across the street.
Well said, Senorita.
