Salvation from torturing Innocent kids?


We continue to live in the dark ages......
Sometimes it makes me wonder, Is America really a nation of sick and demented people?
In a country where people breathe technology and argue science over religion, some are blinded by sectarian fervor. Where is law and what is government doing when minors are thrown on the streets?

I am not talking about Charles Kingsley's "The Water Babies" kind of a fairy tale.

One community in Utah is chasing out teenage boys from their homes. Religious head instructs parents to shoo their kid away for not confirming to the rules of the sect. You can be banished from the house for watching movies, surfing net, but the sect thrives of polygamous relationship. For males salvation is only through polygamous relationship. The head of the sect is serving time in the jail for his sex crimes.

To keep the sect alive and principles intact the sect needs more females than males and hence they are happy to expel males in the family. As a result of being thrown away from home at an early age, life is only a bed of thorns for them. Most of them become school dropouts and some of the boys end up as criminals, drug addicts, and as a result they lose their child hood and go around like a rudderless boat.

Well if you think Indians are much better than Americans hold on your malicious tongue. Haven’t you read about female infanticide? Mothers dumping their newborn girls in dustbins and some of them even feeding their babies with Kallipaal, a kind of poison extracted from cactus. Thomas Friedman’s is right, “The world is flat” and there are Poothnas’ and Chatakasurs’ everywhere. We love creating a world and era of destitutes.

Man has tampered with the ecosystem and now he is tampering with his community and house. If Darwin was around he would come up with a new evolution theory, “Over the years of mankind has evolved to become more intelligent but they still remain to be most dangerous and selfish, sadistic animals on the planet." Animals kill their prey only for food, but mankind kills for their greed. The self perpetuating engine of greed in man will only stop when the last one is left behind on earth.

Some of us have hearts to share our wallets and do check book charity for destitutes, but do we have hearts to stop such cruelty? There are definitely a few things that money can't buy.

If given a choice I would choose to be born in the animal kingdom where off springs get more love and care without expecting anything in return.

Did someone say It is a mad, mad, mad world?
