a whole country cries

perhaps nothing demonstrates the fact that human beings are children more broadly than the story of a whole country crying over the loss of a game... and lebron thinks he is king and the greatest... while the espn blathers on about the importance of lebron in this egocentric country, the fact that interviews with people on the street in brazil collectively state the whole country gets depressed and people there do not let go of a loss in the world cup is a sad statement of how superficial human priorities are... while sport stars are paid upwards of twenty or more million dollars a year to play a game and hundreds of millions of dollars a year to sell us products we really do not need, many thousands of children die of starvation every day... can you really feel this?... do you remember how you felt on September 11, 2001... 9/11... well, yes, it was tragic, but what do you think of the fact that more people died of starvation that day than died in the towers?... in fact, can you grasp the truth that every single day, five times that number die of starvation... every single day - five times... estimates range from ten to thirty thousand die of starvation every day, and some say even thirty thousand is a conservative estimate... one out of eight people suffer from malnutrition in this supposedly civilized modern world...

so a whole country cries when a game is lost... and espn can't stop talking about lebron... and most people ignore when tens of thousand people starve to death every day...
