Corruption

Many things have happened since I last posted. I made several trips to the interior, some memorable, others more memorable than some. I took my camera with me so I could capture interesting places and objects, got a few lucky shots. I cherish the time I spent home, my daughter is growing, I take photos almost everyday, I probably have close to 500 photos or more. She gets more beautiful with each passing day; her mother also.

The talk around town is the torture of the 14 year old. It's sad and sickening. Our rights are being trampled upon daily. I can't help but think we, collectively, have played a role in what happened.

We break traffic rules daily; such as the speed limit and adhering to road signs. We litter without regards to the damage we cause to the environment and our contribution to fast track global warming. We refuse to discipline our children, limit the numbers we make and live as a complete family unit (one parent missing), all recipies for bad parenting, lack of proper parental supervision and a downward spiral into a life of poverty, criminality and instability. We pay the police bribes and lunch monies instead of demanding a ticket. We beat our children mercilessly without explaining to the child what he/she did wrong. We encourage our children to steal and become bullies.

We are not responsible, we see wrongs being committed and refuse to speak out. It builds up slowly and in the end it boils over. We saw it with the killing of Mr. Ramdass by the Coast Guard ranks - his crime: having money in his possession that they wanted for themselves. We saw it again with the poisoning of "Biscuit" - his crime: complained successfully that he was tortured to give a false statement. Now it is the 14 yr old - his crime: not known but now mutilated for life at the hands of the proctectors of the state. They are seeking to punish the decent minded person/s who emailed that photo to KN instead of punishing the rogue officers and their superiors who facilitated this atrocity to occur.

Ah yes, are we law abiding citizens? It is in our nature to do wrong. We have no Government, no Police Force, no Army and no Public Offices that are free from corruption and who will refuse to take the bribes and carry out their duties according to the law. So we have become corrupted......
