10. I agree w/you...
there is nothing we CAN do, and there lays the horror.

If someone is assaulting someone else near me, I can step in, at least try to put an end to it. But when there is nothing you can do, the feeling of helplessness is overwhelming.

Where are the good leaders? Where are the great leaders? Why are the people so sheepish when their own families are being destroyed? What creates that kind of fear?

I would, if I felt it necessary, put my life on the line to protect others. Are there others out there that are willing to do the same, not for strangers, but for their own families? This is a cruel world we live in, and the more we learn of it, the worse it gets.

Child abductions, slavery, child labor, indentured servitude, rape, predation at every conceivable level. I am disgusted too. The only thing I can do, is to make my little corner of the world a better place. If I had the power, I'd take these evil dregs of humanity out and horsewhip them, then toss them into the darkest of holes to live out meager lives. But I do not have that power, much to my chagrin, it goes on because fear is such a factor in these peoples lives.

:hug: I'm feeling this with you.
