Trial by cataclysm.
Awareness and sympathy evoked by media coverage of massive calamity is the most horrid thing I have ever seen.
If they aren't taking up the time your daily dosage of routine entertainment usually falls upon, who gives a fuck?
People are poor every day.
People are homeless every day.
People are starving every day.
People are dehydrated every day.
People are dying every day.
People are dying every day. Needlessly.
I saw a broadcast of the disasters that have recently occurred. Gas prices were said to rise through the roof in weeks to come. It was immediately followed by an advertisement for an SUV. This is our society.
Social conscience only applies to an epic level of suffering.
You all should go fuck yourselves.
