Have you ever wondered why it is if a
public official gets caught out lying that they get let off with a
scolding and told not to do it again, (but the invariably do) but if
a member of the general public get caught doing the same thing the
receive a very heavy fine, and or perhaps a jail sentence. If they
were to claim a loss of memory to some critical piece of evidence in
a court of law, they would be incarcerated until the did remember.
But politicians use this same excuse frequently and nothing happens
to them.
Or if a cooperate tycoon or a
government official misappropriates thousands, if not millions of
dollars belonging to the public they either get off with a fairly
light sentence (quite often not going to jail) or not being convicted
at all. But if a little old lady or a solo mother on the pension
where to steal 1 lb of butter or a packet of biscuits to feed her
family they want to throw her in jail and strip her of her pension.
You know how they get away with this?
It is because people like you and I, the ordinary person in the
street let them get away with it. We are so apathetic we just shrug
our shoulders and leave it for someone else to deal with, but they
never do. They get away with it because we let them get away with it,
and we are getting exactly what we deserve. No more and not less.
silence is taken as condoning their actions.
This will continue until enough of us
so called ordinary people get off our back-sides and yell in a loud
clear voice. STOP! We have had enough of this crap. The law states
that there is only one law that covers all people, and we demand that
this law covers everybody equally without fear or favour.
