People, as a whole, are generally flawed. So obsessed with their individual concerns, and of course amassing wealth and possesions...Our own government is working hard to eliminate social programs that, while abused by some, feed, house, cloth, teach, and give health care for children....We fund schools based on test scores, spending more money where the scores are higher because those children have more "potenial" thereby fulfilling our own prophacy by declaring that those who did not score well never had the potential to begin with. Well, Einstein failed algebra.
People don't care about people...I'm not certain we'll ever get them to care about animals. I guess we just have to keep screaming into the wind and hoping SOMEONE in the future will hear.

as much. And people might care more.
