In 2009, there were so many bad events.
Fears of the H1N1 influenza pandemic;
Economic breakdown;
and of course, wars.

We are struggling to survive, as usual.

Hopefully, the scientific and technological innovations continue to thrive. A remarkable feat.

People that could afford it, continue to consume goods of all kinds. That's well to keep the economy to recover.

It is not a time to hold every economical sectors on hold, because of the toll of debts. It is the responsabilities of the governments to boost, at all cost, because of the crisis. Give the people the means to feed their families, with dignity, that is, give them jobs.

When I am looking back at the History books, that was what did happen.

How to reimburse debts ? once one could spare a surplus again. It would not be a short term view.

Let people starve , die; Let them be exploited in the name of the return of investment, then we are returning back to the days of the warlords, the greedy ages of past centuries. It wil be a collective suicide.

At my puny standpoint, where I have to continue to take care of my family, because of either illness or jobless, it is a very hard time.
I try to surmount the distress, by making feel good myself. If I am gone, be it by despair, or lacking enough revenue to sustain my family, then that is the end.

If I am a responsible man, then I have to survive and be in a good shape, psychologically.

I have found a way to do it. Buying guitars !
Horror, I am nut! Irresonsible!
Well, I know what I do. I buy those instruments through auctions; those guitars are cheaply made, but quite satisfactory to play and dirty cheap.

Horror ! I am not a real musician ! So what ? If the instruments can make me happy and could be a remedy to the pessimistic environment, then it is OK with me. Anyway, by buying, I contribute to the welfare of other economical actors.

Cheers and try to find your ways.

Hello,

Happy new Year 2009. Be it wiser.

Content:
1) Intro
2) Human trafficking
3) Conclusions
4) Ref

=============================

1) Intro

In 2008, we have seen quite a few "good" events:
The new impetus in the European Community;
The new leadership in the USA;
The Pekin Olympics games;

Bad events:
The worldwide financial crisis, which goes worser and worser;
The South East asian countries unrest;

2) Human trafficking:
That's said as an intro, I came across a web report about vietnamese women being kept in dog cages, used as sex slaves in HoChiMinh city.
Unbelievable at first. But I remember that I have seen TV and newspapers reports that the human trafficking is still there, in 21st Century.
Particularly women held prisoners and used as sex slaves. Just take the time to check on the internet.

As I live in an occidental region, the reports were talking about women being smugled from Eastern Europe.

Really, I feel a little stupid and shocked by reading about human trafficking in and out of Viet-nam.

I don't want to join groups who are vocifering against Viet-Nam on political grounds.

The problem here, is that those groups should act on such cases, as they have done before for their "petites gens". In and outside of Vietnam.

I believe that distance does count. Since the bad guys can deter those same groups to act in such a matter (human trafficking).

It is "harmless" to attack the antagonists, when the latter are so far away.
Well, probably I would take this kind of stances. I am not an idiot (well, not at such a level, I hope).

Now, please act. The woeful women are in your neigbourhood. I read that children were smuggled in Great Brittain, to work as slaves.

If they want to work as is, they have to choose by themselves, without being coersced and exploited.

From time to time, Police is doing its jobs, to free a few pitiful ones. That's is not enough.
I believe that such exploitations are ludicrous enough for the bandits and thier accomplices. The later are powerful enough to being completly dismantled.

I read that women were being smuggled across Asia to be wedded to would-be grooms. Some of them were being kept as slaves.

Money is money, nothing to do with political status.

I am not conversed in such a matter, the human trafficking, but when I came across of real cases (not movies), that stir up the guts.

3) Conclusions:

Despite the subtitle, there will be incomplete ones.
As often, a few criminals are used as a weapon and political purposes, to deshumanize whole communities.

Theorem 1:
The illogical side of a "globalization" is that Nations are still reasoning, scapegoating whole communities.
The nearer the communities are, the more forceful scapegoating will be.
The farther the countries's are, the better is.

The Law of inverse proportional (square of the distance). Newton's Law applied to hatred.

Theorem 2:

Money, greed are independant of poltical status.

Corollary:
Money, greed have their own laws.

Theorem 3:
Money, greed are destructive by definition.

Human being is greed-driven, by nature, hence destructive.

Proof:
- Human being has to survive, with whatever policies he chooses;
- To survive, he has to fuel himself;
- The fuel has to be taken somewhere else, distinct from self;
- Comes in greed, an insurance against odds;
- Greed fosters competition hence destructive;

Well, as I am a Human being (albeit some groups of People denied it), therefore I am destructive.
Not a nice perspective, isn't it ?

Or have I to go at someplace to live in accord with Nature, like a monk, for example ?
Taking and cultivating (take and give back = equilibrium = non destructive) the minimal to survive.
But where could I go ?
As a human Being, I must have a permission to do so (from all the human governments) !

Per se, human being is not "free", because he must pertain to a country or nation.
He is not "free" to go where he wants. Impossible.

Theorem 4:
Bandits or crooks are convicted when they try to be smarter. "Freer" than allowed.

Ouch! the later theorem will bring me into troubles. Do you know that I am being watched over by unamed services ? I have the proofs (indirect ones). A conspiracy, I tell you.

We see, read, hear reports about the catastrophic situation of Burma and China. The aftermath of the Nargis cyclone and Sichuan Earthquake.

Year after year, more and more murderous natural tremors blast off everywhere around the World. Hapless people were dying in great numbers, because relief could not brought over quickly enough.

Are we, human beings, so stupid ?

More and more people are dying of starvation. Despite the fact that enough food is available.

Experts agree on some of the causes.

The main problem : accessibility.

I propose the following solution:

1 - Create a DMZ (demilatry zone) at the borders of each country.
It can done as such:

Country A shares the same border with country B. A slim border line.
Why can't countries A and B agree to share a greater zone as a frontier ?

The bigger frontier could be a relief route, allowing hapless refugees to seek for shelter.

In this way, sovereignty will not be a question anymore.

2 - As every country has a border with one or more neighbours, those borders could be extended as an DMZ or international highway. The highway could be equipped with relief equipments (landing aircraft tarmacs,barraks, chirurgical buildings, relief stocks ...), as small relief islands.

The scheme will be more flexible and bring relief with less hindrance compared with today situation.

So let's create these routes and relief islands. In the name of efficiencies.

Another good perspective: People and goods could be transported from Country A to Country B,be they apart from the North Pole to the South, only by using the international Highway, without the hassle of paperworks.

One may argue: Not the shortest path !
Well, it's better to have freedom to ride than the other way around.
