Two weeks ago the bees created the buzz.
Last week, it was the babes.
This week: it's da boys.
I received a call from someone who was very upset about 19 murdered children.
I told him I am upset too. And we commiserated for a bit.
But then I asked him, "Are you also upset about the 8,500 children who died that day from starvation and malnutrition, and the day before, and every day since?"
That means that 19 children are dying from "undernutrition" every three minutes.
He admitted that he hadn't been aware of those dying children, most of whom are in Africa.
It will be debated for years whether or not the Uvalde massacre was preventable. But is there any debate about the preventability of death from undernutrition?
Question for your table: Which is worse - the death of a child, or indifference to the death of a child?
