It's another form of triage, how much we invest in preparing for that, a very important question for public policy. We are a short-sighted species.
Also, and this may sound naïve, but since my early days in journalism, I've felt that getting as close as possible to truth, revealing the reality of a situation in detail, has its own persuasive power.
