If our elected leaders don't care about taking steps to make sure the children of this nation don't get shot at school, or its citizens don't get shot at a theater or concert, do you really think they are going to care about a little dirty water?

I think there was a moral dilemma during WW2 about whether to risk human lives to save art from the Nazis. The consensus seemed to be in favour of the risk. I guess they concluded art was, in a sense, more important than individual lives. I think I understand this in an abstract kind of way but I wouldn't like to be one of the individuals sacrificed for the sake of European culture, much as I value it.
