Weighing In At The Going Rate

Can we put a price on human life? Can we truly measure what a group of individuals is worth? How much aid is too much? When do we pull the plug? When do we bail out? These are the questions that are resounding everywhere and the biggest question should be how can we come to the conclusion at the end of the day that all of this hard work and humanitarian effort going on all across the globe is not worth the price that we must pay? What about the price our Canadian Troops must pay each day and night? I venture to say that these courageous men and women would tell us that freedom comes with a heavy price tag and to fully comprehend what the prized possession that hangs from that pricey tag is, we need to see with their eyes, the small children whose lives hang in the balance day to day, the old men and handicapped women who are overlooked and have given up, the youth who would choose life and education if it were made available to them. What is the going rate these days? Please, no one answer.
