- gjm11 15y agoThe estimates I've seen for the total amount of humanitarian aid are on the order of $20bn/year. What's the world's annual violin-compassion budget? (I think $20bn/year is way too low and the world would be a better place if we were more compassionate towards starving people and others in distress. But that's no reason at all not to care about old violins being destroyed.)
- Dove 15y agoPuzzling. Do you think people would be less irate if, instead of a violin destroyed, it had been a starving person?
