Rant

Ok this is more of a rant about "sustainability" than about community. Recently I read an article about how Japanese companies were sending people home early to procreate. Then I read this article. Basically a Japanese man who was hit while riding his bike was turned away from 14 hospitals (because they were full) and eventually succumbed to his injuries and died (in the ambulance.) Maybe the country shouldn't be thinking about more babies if they can't take care of the people they already have...? I see the cyclical aregument of how they need young people to pay taxes to build hospitals to take care of old people yada yada yada...it's time for a few fat cat decision makers to feel the crunch and maybe lose a loved one or two...maybe then things'll change enough so that society won't be chasing its tail trying to keep up. It might be easier said then done if you are not willing to cut through all the excuses. How do people let it get that far? What are people so short sighted? Aren't people smart enough to look beyond their own immediate needs? And I'm not talking about just one country but the whole world.
