There is a degradation of human life. It comes in all forms, from the low value placed by bandits who would shoot/chop for a few dollars (or even cigarettes, as I pointed out in one past post).
But more than that, I am saddened that the value of the human life is further cheapened by the newspapers, who in search of the almighty dollar, run over sense and sensibility. Its a sale of the conscience for the next buck.

So here we have the two competing.... the gory and the sexy fighting to hold a single breath on a page.
And in the middle, the victim is squeezed into an unknown number.
