There are some present situations currently occurring in the world may be the result of mental illness or just plain hateful people but it has to be addressed.

We have those saying eboli is because of this or that person doing or saying something "causing" the eboli outbreak, and the same people do not want to halt the deaths because they are occurring in Africa, yep, and coming out of the religious bunch. The Clinton Foundation has been working in different countries, Bill Gates has supported many programs to assist in treatments of diseases.This is where we can show our compassion to others and we should.
