Outrage and Expressions of Tragedy, Young Amateur-Teenage Athletes, Cost Benefit Analysis and Wes Leonard of Fennville High School

There is a pattern. Outrage and angst towards abortion but apathy and contempt for life born and it's development. Again outrage and expressions of tragedy when young amateur-teenage athletes due to congenital heart defects collapse and die in their field of play. Yet apathy and the contradictory cost-benefit analysis mock such displays of concern.

On 3/3/11: 16 year old Wes Leonard of Fennville High School, Michigan collapsed and died on the basketball court after sinking the game winning shot. Again outrage and expressions of tragedy rent the nations psyche upon discovery that Wes Leonard died from an enlarged heart, a congenital defect.

Too many of the nations young amateur-teenage athletes die needlessly from congenital heart defects which because of the obscenity of the misanthropic cost-benefit analysis gambit go unnoticed till the inevitable collapse in the field of play and the resulting schizophrenic like displays of outrage and expressions of tragedy.

So what is it. What do we value, saving life, Wes Leonard's by identifying at risk athletes or the displays of outrage and expressions of tragedy?
