Maurice Hillerman

[YankeyMCC]

I just heard about this man today. And that is kinda my point.

But I this man, Maurice Hillerman, is directly responsible for saving and improving millions of lives. It certainly says something about our society that the death of Maurice Hillerman is barely a blip in the media and essentially goes unoticed among the general public.

I don't mean to say the catholic and other religious people should not have given the great attention that was given to the death of the pope. Asking for recognition of men like Dr Hillerman does not mean I'm asking to take away from the attention given to others. I'm just saying that for me personally if there had been as much coverage of the life of Maurice Hillerman as there had been of the death of the pope I would have welcomed it...or at least it would've taken me a lot longer to before getting annoyed with the flood.
