When will it end ?
Well, it won't, will it? I never understand this reaction to man's (and usually it is man's) inhumanity to his fellow man, woman and child. There is something innate in our nature that leads people to do terrible things, whether it be abusing children, brutally executing innocent people and filming it, or arranging for the industrial slaughter of millions of people based solely on their ethnicity or religion. It also makes me laugh when our leaders make pronouncements about such occurences being absolutely shockiing. Really, there was me thinking it was a little light humour.
But we also have capacity for such great generosity and altruism. Eg, the guy who got Ebola, is better now, and is heading back to Africa, to carry on working.
It is the human condition. Live with it. And this argument validates neither complete communism nor winner takes all capitalism.
