Waste is a four-letter word.

I've gone on rants about injustice like this over on my wordpress [currently the home of self-indulgent D&D-based romance, so you'll have to go digging] and I'll do this again. Mostly because people would be more outraged about the pet deaths than the devastation of homeless people's few treasures.

When I do rant about this, it'll be entitled "Fuck Prosperity Doctrine". Keep an eye out.
