To to balance out the Vonnegut rant, here's a little example of the 
world working as it should.  :-)

About Ben’s Game

Ben, nine years old, is in remission from Leukemia. He also had a 
unique wish.  Ben’s wish was to create a video / computer game in which 
the hero kills cancer cells.  The game would have several levels of 
battling the cells. Ben felt that this game would be helpful for kids 
like him who have cancer, a way to fight back and relieve some of the 
pain and stress involved with treatment.  Ben is a big fan of video 
games and computers — so the Greater Bay Area Make-A-Wish Foundation 
went out to local game companies to find a champion to make Ben’s wish 
come true. A hero stepped forward: Eric Johnston of LucasArts.  Not 
only did Eric want to make Ben’s wish a reality, he wanted to involve 
Ben in every step of the process.  For months, Ben and Eric have been 
meeting on a regular basis to make the game just as Ben has envisioned 
it. Now you will have a chance to see it too!
