Perhaps I titled this "Painted Women: Need Rights Too"? Maybe you would read, maybe you would not. Let me explain. Recently a small group of women from Taiwan have stepped forward to ask Japan to take responsibility for forcing them to become sex slaves a half century ago. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4342797.stm
Think about it. Think about how decisions we make today as a society affect the way people are a half century from today.
Think about it and realize that we are not static beings. We are real. To go on much more will incite a lot of critisim and I don't mean to do that when the subject is so serious.
I just want to make a small statement. That is simply: Let us learn from history.
And do not think I am trying to find some moral dilemma that exactly matches forcing women to become sex slaves during War. I realize that we aren't "there" in American society today. While we do have a SERIOUS human trafficking problem on Earth, it is still not the point I want to make. Rather, I just want to simply state that decisions we make today are far reaching and in 50 years there will be those who are still gravely affected.
So all I am suggesting is that as a society we arm ourselves with information, sidle that up to our experiences and make intelligent decisions. Too often we are blasted with meaningless information...(Britney) and if we don't seek relevant news it doesn't make its way into our lives.
Think, think, think about it.
