Arrrrrrrgh

I bawled my eyes out last night. Made the mistake of watching the news. First 2 items did me in. The breaking story consisted of a description of a child sex/porn ring uncovered in Winnipeg (alleged). Ok, I thought, I can get through this. I'm strong enough. Most disturbing for me was the statement by one of the interviewees that things like this were indicative of a growing market for this type of crap. These things are not isolated happenings...and there is something seriously ill in our society if there is a growing market...something seriously fucked up. Fine. Our would is screwed up. I can deal. But then, good ol CTV threw in a description of a trial going on wherein grandparents are being accused of allowing a 3 year old to starve to death. I've heard about this case before. I was not prepared to here a taped interview with his sister (11 years old) and her description of what had been done to the poor child. I mean...FUCK. I'm angry, scared, dumbfounded, ... at a loss. This world we live in seems to have lost a moral compass. Not everything is fucking relative. Some things are wrong. From every angle. There can be no justification. And, certainly, there can be no justice.
