...that in the world we live in and to those controlling and running things, they don't. At all. That is a reality. What matters most in this world is money. Not lives. That is evident in our prison system, our healthcare system, our system of government (Oligarchy) and our public education system -- and our trade systems.

Yes we all have families, and friends and empathy and are hurt over these events or when we lose loved ones. But WE aren't the ones controlling or running things. Until or unless we are, or until or unless SOMETHING becomes more important than MONEY to those who are controlling and running things - none of this will change.
