I was watching Law and Order yesterday and they aired one of
those programs about human smuggling. This guy had a tractor trailer and he
would haul about 60 Mexicans across the border twice each month. He was earning
$240,000 per month doing this.
But the air conditioner failed in the trailer and 12 of the
people died so the inspectors from Law and Order had to solve the case. Stories
like this are especially sad because they occasionally do happen. Every couple
of years, we’ll see a story like this on TV where people were left to die in a
hot truck or trailer. It doesn’t matter if they were illegal aliens or not!
We’re all human beings…that’s what matters.
These are humans that deserve a certain level of dignity and
respect whether they have a different culture and even if they’re uneducated
and illiterate. I think Americans have a diseased mindset when it comes to the
value of human life and it may stem from our TV and advertising.
We’ve come to place more value on the life of a wealthy
socialite than a Mexican child. But they’re both human beings. Why aren’t they
equal? They’re equal in the sight of God!
The other thing about the show was that the guy was earning
so much money and yet not providing anything at all … not even bottles of cold
water, to these poor people who were paying $2,000 each to cross the border.
Good Grief!!!!
If I were going to take up Human Smugging as a career, I
would completely carpet the whole trailer in soft carpeting. I would put comfy
chairs around. There would be a big frig with cold drinks. I would install a
music system and have plenty of snacks. Plus each person would get a clean
change of clothes, a bag of food and $100.
The reason so many aliens steal or do other illegal
activities is probably because they couldn’t get jobs and they had to
eat…that’s what I like to think, at least.
I just don’t understand why any group would be cruel to
another group. I think we humans have more in common than we realize. But we
seem to gravitate more toward evil than good. This has been our struggle from
the beginning of time: Good and Evil.
We’re given this beautiful Garden to live in rent free and
can go anywhere and do anything we want and there’s no charge for any of it.
Along comes a Snake in the Grass tempting us with forbidden fruit and suddenly
we live in a desert where we must scratch and scrape at the ground for a morsel
of bread. We were clearly better off in the Garden!
Yet, there’s no going back. If there were such a thing as a
Time Machine, someone would have come back by now and given us decent
presidential candidates to vote for in the 2016 election. If mankind would ever
in the future invent a real Time Machine, I’m pretty sure they would have gone
back in time and made sure monsters like Hitler were never born.
We would have gone back and prevented the invention of
nuclear power. Every single one of those 450 nuclear reactors on this planet
are nothing more than ticking time bombs. All it will take is one big hurricane
or earthquake in exactly the right location and our planet will cease to be
habitable for the next hundred years.
ü
Humans can be ingenious; but they can also be
idiots.
ü
Humans can be artistic & creative; but they
can also create chaos.
ü
Humans could build the most incredible cities
and society imaginable; but instead they build whorehouses and bars.
ü
Humans could transform earth into a Paradise
that parallels Heaven itself; but instead we build thousands of factories that
emit so much industrial pollution that 200,000 people die each year from it.
It doesn’t make any sense at all to destroy the planet we
live on and yet, Italy and Switzerland recently redrew their borders because
global warming has melted the Alpine Glaciers. Doesn’t anyone care about the
Alpine Glaciers? Glaciers are a huge part of our eco-system. Without them, life
as we know it will cease to exist.
Again, extinction for the humans coming as a result of
nothing more than simple Greed.
So, let’s think this over before we continue on in the
direction we’ve been headed for so long. Let’s figure out whether we really
want to survive for the long haul. Or whether we just want to live it up and
have as much fun, food, booze and partying as possible and when it’s over … oh well
… at least we enjoyed our brief time here.
