Well, its sunday afternoon..its really SUN-day..the sun is out and bright, heating up our tropical island. This is usually the time I wish we had climate of 22degrees celcius, and I can walk out happily without the need of applying sun-block or using an umbrella. Yea,i m kinda photo-sensitive...nt my fault, long story for another day..So I am stuck at home, with the air-conditioning blowing down my neck, and looking thru some vietnam war museum photos from facebook. I could bearly read on, as they were describing how the US personnel tortured the POWs. Sigh, so in-humane and brutal. How could a human do this to a fellow human? This is ridiculous...
This reminds me of the movie I watched recently, law-abidding citizen. And I realise that our law system is very flawed..as in the law system all over the world. I guess this movie really got me thinking..Criminals are allowed to walk free from court-rooms if they can hire good lawyers that can prove them innocent in front of the jury or judge. It's what u can prove in court, and not what you are guilty of. And logically speaking, what gives another human a right whether you get to live or die? Or get 10yrs of imprisonment or 21 strokes of the cane?! Who is he? just someone else who has more education and training than you, is that it? He could be blinded,mis-guided, or bias right? I guess in my perception, only GOD, our creator, has the right to decide if i get to live or die, and not some human, who is a specialist in his field, but could more leading a more screwed up life, less enlightened about the values of life etc than me, to decide my fate. Strangely, when they say there's justice in the law system, to me, I guess there's no justice at all. Its just base on luck and skill. After all, I guess judges are very judgemental aint it?
