Tragedy

[bcholmes]

If I controlled the universe, tragedy would be measured differently. Public response to Nelia Laroza's death, for example, would far exceed public reaction to Holly Jones' death.

Entire communities would mobilize around efforts to ensure that health care is a safe profession. The government would be pressured to change law, change budgets, (change premiers ferchrissakes), to make hospitals better. People would demand inquiries into the history of health care underfunding.

Holly Jones was the young girl who was kidnapped, raped, and brutally murdered/dismembered in Toronto within the space of 18hrs near the beginning of June.
