THE MESS AT PENN STATE?
IF I HAD BEEN A MORAL PERSON MY SELF, I WOULD NOT HAVE HALF OF WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE HUMAN NATURE (M.N.R.)
Child abuse in America
Every five hours a child dies from abuse or neglect in the US.
The latest government figures show an estimated 1,770 children were killed as a result of maltreatment in 2009.
A recent congressional report concludes the real number could be nearer 2,500.
In fact, America has the worst child abuse record in the industrialised world. Why? The BBC investigates.
Put away the rope now
Put down the gun,
Night is still young, may be
We're bound to have some fun
May be you think that I protest too much, may be you are right. But the riot at Penn state can not be ignored. Some in the media said the "kids" were upset at the firing of Joe Paterno, let me assure you these were not kids, unless you are willing to say that we are sending kids to Iraq and Afghanistan to fight our wars, these "kids" are in college, thus mostly over eighteen.
And what were they rioting about? Firing of Joe Paterno, a man who did not have the courage to speak out about sexual abuse of kids to save his foot ball record? Or to keep making money. Do not rock the boat when you are having it so good, it is not just that the country is full of such moral midgets, but that we have learned to accept any trash if it makes us feel good or makes us money.
WE WORSHIP FAILURES.
Why else any one , including Paterno would have thought he could get away with it , or anyone else for that matter, other than the fact that we have no morals, no obligation to do the right thing. And why would Sandusky even dare bring these kids on to the campus no less to abuse them, is it because he knew our culture adn assumed that he could get away with it?
Some one compared the college football culture to the gang culture, you don't rat on any one, but do we not all of us live in a gang culture? Even when kids find one of the parents in an affair, they won't tell the other parent, no one tells any one that they are being cheated on, being lied to, co workers will know of theft at work and not speak out.
May be that is not so bad in it self, alone, but what about our politics, who in the congress and the senate not on the take, may be a little bit, in the state government, the county government, or city.
But time and time again we reelect our own crooks, our own liars and our own cheats, then why do we ask others to be the paragons of morality, while we keep mainstreaming deviance.
And why not Sandusky think he can get away with it, Oliver North, Newt Gingrich, Kennedy, Clinton, Larry Craig, Lindsay Lohan, Tiger Woods, and the list goes on, all thought they could get away with it, and mostly did.
And as always, the morning after crowds are there to oblige you with endless commentary and sicking explanations to tell us what went wrong, but no one ever says that we have fucked up our culture that we have a fucked up culture, that we are morally bankrupt and that is the bottom line.
But no one will ever say that our whole culture is messed up, that we need another take, a re look, we need to balance things out, this is not working and will not work , we will self destruct.
LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE
