Every other moment that unfolds on television is an assurance that we live in a shameless time. I was shell shocked to see a documentary on the BBC depicting the poor state of affairs in Ethiopia where children (dying souls) are without nutrition and food. And the next 30 minute news round-up, shows milk being poured down the drain and even being sprayed on farmlands in Europe by farmers protesting the rising cost of fuel.
If the cost per barrel of crude is today $125 or thereabouts, does it give sanction to protest by spraying milk on farmlands and letting gallons of milk go down the gutters even as a cow watches helplessly over this madness in such a dehumanizing manner ? Milk that can otherwise feed the thousands of underprevileged and malnutritioned children around the globe? How low can human thought go in a protest ?
