Social programs, soup kitchens, health care: all these things act to prevent the unfortunates, the losers, those who made bad choices or just had bad luck from reaping the consequences and dying off.

I sometimes wonder whether it's really a good thing in the long run to mess with mother nature.
In view of the seriousness and uncertainties of this current health crisis, most of us are doing what we can to be positive and to try to alleviate the situation. Many people are barely managing to cope with this. In my opinion, it’s vile to post something as negative as your message.
