Hi Tina,
The answer is extremely simple! Sick & dying humans, death and destruction, 
doom and gloom and all the atrocities human unto human makes so much money 
for big publications, not just Time, but all the so called "News magazines 
of the world!" Gross and destruction, war never ending war, dying children 
and every other horrible condition of man kind sells! BIGTIME!

WHY?

Well for whatever reason humanity has lost it's way in caring and giving.... 
more so not caring for others than the amount of money and food they can put 
in their pockets than if Mamma dies during birthing or not! :-(

I believe the world has slipped into an unforgiving mess of ..... "nobody 
really cares anymore" EXAMPLE: Haiti has a massive earthquake, death and 
destruction every where. Cholera breaks out, hundreds dying, an election is 
held and it appears so corrupt it only adds to more dying and like, "WHO 
CARES?"
IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN,  and who knows where next? It's all this kind of stuff 
day after day is why TIME is full of ugly death photographs.

Just try and imagine TIME filled with beautiful photos of sun bathed wheat 
fields being peacefully harvested. Fishermen unloading bountiful catches of 
fresh fish. No dying and starving children! WHY? Because the kids are 
properly fed and clothed in class rooms learning peace and harmony amongst 
all mankind! And corruption is a fiction book of times long gone!

Unfortunately that was a silly moment of  my mind!

However it would be nice, wouldn't it?
Sadly :-(
