47. Then, I guess "tolerance" only has to do with "choices"
like a "gay lifestyle", etc.

You see, that's what's really sad to me. We've come to the point where the biggest issues are "choices". We've completely lost sight of the fact that there are *really* big things that affect not only people's quality of life, but literally whether they live or not.

To me, that is the price of affluence. It blunts our very awareness of others.

At least you understand that my survival isn't something I can put in the "tolerance" column.

I hope you can now understand that the very fact that this issue isn't on people's minds, and a priority, depresses the hell out of me, and makes it just about impossible for me to get very involved.

Because I just don't *COUNT*.

Kanary :(
