    I guess there are no people in the world that are worth saving anymore. The organization that once stood for helping people in any way, shape or form now cares more about their logo placement than giving a child another few moments of life. Perhaps they are doing a favor? A favor to that child to not have to live in such a world that prizes a dollar over a heart beat. They are using those dollars for a lawsuit that serves no moral purpose whatsoever.

    When people see the logo of a red cross in a game, it is a gleaming of light in a dark world and it gives a feeling of safety. Even in the most derogatory of games, seeing a red cross lets you know that there is help around and that not everyone is really out to get you.

    The Red Cross was founded with the idea that any action that take will always help those other than themselves. This action that they are about to possibly take will not help others, it will even harm the Red Cross's image. Growing up I played many videos games, violent and otherwise. Those video games helped to bolster my respect for any person who wears a red cross, not lessen it.
