A lack of emotions is shown when one reacts without thinking.  If you 
can not see how just allowing anyone and everyone to do as they please 
without coordination can cause more misery and death, then sadly you do 
not care for those in need.  In order to care for people, you need 
emotion but you also need your mind acting with common sense.  As I have 
said before, if you do not act in a coordinated manner, supplies that 
people need are wasted but so are the efforts of those who are doing the 
rescuing.

To be harsh, if I organized my personell and supplies, 100 people 
survive vs 5 people because of my delaying personnel in an area then so 
be it.  That is the type of decisions our leaders make everyday.
