6. It should be
But everything in life is nothing more than a commodity. The air we breathe is a commodity.

There are 6 billion people on this planet, and that number continues to increase. At this point, life is pretty cheap. Not that it wasn't before, and I'm talking in the big picture sense. Even with the smallest amount of health care, we're living longer. It's now a global economy, and that's where the insane number of people comes into play.

Health care, education, housing, etc, etc, should all be something that is your right from the day you're born, especially in the richest country humans have ever known. But there's a reason that they're not.
