The Redeeming Moment for Drones: Lost?

F.U. Washington. and Europe, and anyone else with a drone! Finally, the one moment when we need drones in the world...the one moment when they can serve humanity to help administer an emergency response...this horrible moment in Nepal. NOTHING.

If ever there was one redeeming human application of drones it was their application to medical emergencies...and to date I don't think one drone is going over Nepal. The Nepal that now has been brought to it's knees, and cut off from transportation in or out of many areas. Rubble has made many areas in the mountainous countryside inaccessible. People will die waiting for help...and we are too busy to use drones all the sudden? What do we need the drones waiting for? Another botched kill operation? Perhaps bombing some wedding parties?

If we can't use drones for search and rescue, I think we should just scratch the whole thing altogether...turn them into postmodern sculptural installations....give me a new place to plant my vegetables...whatever... not that what I think matters...
