the trees you grew up with have not forgotten you. their branches still whisper your name in the breeze and their roots remember the paths your feet once traced through their shade.
The Fireflies
— by Henri Camille Danger
Protesters block traffic. An ambulance is unable to get where it needs to be. Someone dies as a result.
Many people say that the protesters should be jailed or even shot.
The logic seems to be "if you cause someone to not get the medical care that they need and they die, you should suffer for it".
But that's exactly what CEOs do when they price gouge or deny claims. So why is the protester considered a criminal who it's justifiable to kill but the CEO isn't?

Anthropologist margaret mead once said that the first sign of civilization is a healed femur and we have skeletons from before humans even became human whose jaws were too broken to eat but they still lived for several years because someone must have painstakingly chewed their food for them and maybe this is all proof that since the dawn of time, survival of the fittest never meant surviving alone.
