Famine and global warming will make notices like this unbearable to read

UN declares famine in parts of Somalia - Africa - Al Jazeera English: "The United Nations has declared a state of famine in some parts of southern Somalia where the worst drought in over half a century is already being blamed for thousands of deaths." We so badly need a revaluation of our values. Values are willed and are the only thing that can turn a human tide. Our inherited values make no provision for the need to keep people alive while they are ... alive. We hide the evidence of deaths. Or we wait until inevitability creates news. The values that would work are democracy and tolerance and helpfulness and making all of them subservient to attention to the one Jesus called Abba. Unfortunately this common sense has been preempted by religion and integrated into the terrible value system that has been in force since Aristotle and theology made it standard. That would be the one that thinks characteristics are values and does not understand values are willed.
