Priorities..?

The needs of many vs the needs of a few. This is an issue that the government probably faces every day. It is unfortunately difficult to cater to the needs of every last citizen in the country. For every group of people that is watched over, it unfortunately breeds another group that is neglected, as after there are so many of us and so little change inducing eyes. This is something that personally I have been thinking about a lot since reading The Clan Of The One Breasted Women. I find if very sad that the very uncovered hidden population of mormons were the ones that the government found it rightful to expose to the harmfulness of their bomb testing. Their valued secluded nature was what made it so that they were prime targets to the horrible side effects that came from the bomb testing. So simply them living like they were raised to and keeping quiet, by the members having "listened, observed," and "rarely asking questions" caused them to have to suffer, which I found to be very sad and very thought invoking. I certainly hope that silent injustices such as the bomb testing we read about ceases to exist and we can all be a peaceful, "unmarking" race!
