Dual Standards May Be Influencing Global Proliferation of Modern-Day Slavery, Sex Tourism, Organized Crime
Putting all the blame on government and/or media may be hypocritical dual standards. To stop corruption and organized crime behind the horror of modern-day slavery and sex tourism, no stone should be left unturned.
(PRWEB) February 3, 2005 -- Ethics + Responsibility + Democracy +
Accountability = Love Brotherly Love. Are we expecting government to develop and
enforce what cannot be forced, which has to be in our hearts and then expressed?
Proof is in the effectiveness of our statements, how it shows, how much
achieved, how many recipients have benefited.
If people just go along
with what organized crime wants it to do while waiting for government to stop
organized crime, why should that government representing such people stop it?
Why should people who feel that what they've spent in tax dollars absolves them
from governing their own individual actions expect the government being
supported by those tax dollars dare try to carry on the responsibility of
governing the actions of individuals that individuals, themselves, ignore? If
people don't have enough integrity to know or follow what's right, what's
ethical, why should they expect the government that represents them, that
they've established and maintained through their vote, taxes and military
service to be any better? If people feel that what they pay in tax dollars
absolves them of protecting their brother, caring for their neighbor, and not
going along with things that harm both, why shouldn't the government
representing such people feel that it's okay to use such peoples' lives to
forward imperialism or some other harmful political motive? Why should money be
wasted trying to stop things from going on that the people who want it stopped
won't stop doing until government steps in? The popular talk about "dual
standards" may be hypocritical. If people don't care for their brother or
neighbor, why should the government?
Like voices in the wind or bellowing
from gurgling rivers or the swishing saltwater or somehow echoing from some
other source, seen, heard, sensed but not necessarily said openly, "You better
do what we say and don't fight us or you'll find yourself in ALL KINDS of
TROUBLE," "You have no idea of all the things we can do to you!" Words spoken
openly, but supposedly not for affect on those hearing it, "He's going to be
hounded for the rest of his life. It doesn't matter where he goes or what he
tries to do," which is one of the reasons these people must be removed from our
midst.
Heard more openly, more directly, "You have to understand, when it
comes to the justice system, you have to compromise," something that should be
corrected, not accepted. Justice isn't something that should be subject to
negotiation. Expecting an innocent person, for example, to plead guilty to crime
shouldn't even enter the mind of anyone of integrity and such situations are
worsened when being orchestrated, puppet strings being pulled, by organized
crime. Regardless of how small town these villains are or that they are people
we know or that these atrocities being committed today are nourished by aspects
of a culture that has been going on for possibly as long as some of us can
remember, these "compromises," these prices we have to pay to maintain even a
semblance of "freedom" is, in essence, negotiating with terrorists, a tactic
we've learned not to use with terrorists.
"I've been involved with the
legal system a good many years and do a good job, the best I can, but (our) laws
are draconian." Said by a respected elder, relatively early after my Love was
abducted before my eyes and forced into sex slavery, "They can't all run off and
hide. Someone has to stay and fight the dragon!" An uncle who's long since
passed away, in my remarking that I was starting to gain weight, "You should
take care of that right away. Especially as you get older, the longer those
pounds stay on, the more difficult it is to get rid of them."
