Ask the whole world: HAVE YOU NO SHAME ? That's what I
thought while watching a Discovery Channel documentary- a world-wide
perspective on kids in prison, in Texas, in Britain, in Russia, in
Brazil ( most horrible of all ! ). This is indeed the stuff for a
United Nations report, for Amnesty International.
Not for nothing I decided more than 20 years ago that
I never want to bring children into this abominable little world !
You do not need a PHD in sociology to see the common denominator
in their lives ( with few exceptions ): They had wickedness to choose
ignorant paupers for parents !
One kid says : " If I'm living on the street -and I don't
steal- I'll starve ! ". But he promises his crying -dying - old
mother ( prematurely old ? ) that he'll be a GOOD BOY when he gets
out of that hell.
How does their society attempt to REFORM them ? By pure
terror, fear of AUTHORITY (" You forget to say SIR, punk ! " )
To SIR with love : Get a life. Too bad for you to miss out
on the Nazi thing !
All the other people who deal with these kids -if not
evil and well intentioned - look like comfortable, well fed,
petty bourgeois bureaucrats -with hearts of pure plastic.
How many of these kids have a future in terrorism ?
