You're givin me chills over here talking like that. Hate to break it to ya, but you're human too. Nobody's perfect. I'm not trying to justify the evils of man here, but I implore you to have a heart for your own sake. So long as a person is alive, they still have the power to change. We can and have for all of existence. Sometimes, I wonder if all that we're here to do is learn and grow - both as individuals and as a collective entity. Until the last human being left breathes their last breath, all of humanity will forever be a work in progress.
You could say, "If that's true, then why bother?" I say, "Because it makes things interesting." Life itself is a beautiful as it is ugly and that is what really makes it worth living. It's all a matter of how you choose to see things. The human condition is a curious state of being, isn't it?
And we're not all profiteers, you know... ...a lot of other people find the sort of behavior described in this thread incorrigible and absolutely do not approve. What of them? I think that here of all places, profiteers will not prevail. They may make a little scratch here and there and that is unfortunate, but most people are not going to pay mark up for a second-hand item they can wait to get elsewhere. And those who do obviously aren't doing so at any dire expense. They do choose to pay that price, after all.
People will always try to take advantage of each other, but that doesn't mean they always get away with it.
