Our legal system is the greatest juxtaposition ever known:
Claims it seeks/enforces justice which is seldom the outcome …
innocent people goaled, beaten or killed
rape victims crucified while rapists go free
refugees drown or dumped in abusive camps
overlooked abuse in families inflame
wages and women continuously oppressed
taxes rigged for the wealthy, poor pay more
wars started using false propaganda
paramedics beaten for doing their job
children returned to abusive homes
elder abuse by greedy relatives/carers
tenants abused by wealthy landlords
criminals get off on technical glitches
underpaid employees treated as slaves
white collar crimes seldom addressed
scammers continue to feather their nest
bullying overlooked perpetuates violence
politicians amass great wealth
animal factories fed hormones
live exports die en-route
… please feel free to add your own?
there is NO Justice in our Legal system!

It is quite sad. This is an inspiration for us to do better every day. We cannot change the system, but we can change ourselves. Wonderful post, very relevant.

Hi Kate,
It’s good to find such passion on the right side of politics these days. I myself try to keep my own political posts to a minimum, but I might change that. For some reason, if I get into writing about politics, everything else dries up. I don’t know why. But these are such bad times, I might try again.
Most people grow more conservative as they grow older, I hear. I’ve gone the opposite. The more I learn, the further I go.

oh you will see them peppered throughout my blog but most get filed in archives … for me it’s a healthy outlet when I feel passionate or moved about something … blogging allows people to read or move on with no obligations.

So very true! So very sad! So very angering!
First time I served on a jury, I became even more disillusioned with justice. 😦

it’s totally wrong Deb, these ambos experience enough trauma just attending patients let alone being abused and attacked.

I told my daughter to stop doing it but she refused. Said everyone had the right to medical assistance. She’s a better person than me

We’ve quite a bit of volunteer firefighters in our family, and also a police officer.
I worry about them as well as the relative that are soldiers abroad equally.
To add…
Elder as well as youth abuse.
Which is why I try and start my day with some bit of good news first.
