No Sympathy

The front page of today's Daily Telegraph screams

NO SYMPATHY
Their drug operations would have destroyed
thousands of lives - now they'll pay with theirs

This does not apply to the following:

  • John Howard's illegal war in Iraq and Afghanistan with at least 100,000 dead and millions of lives destroyed;
  • James Hardie and the thousands of workers' lives destroyed through asbestos poisoning;
  • The CEOs of companies where their workers work long hours in unsafe conditions;
  • The bureaucrates who hound pensioners for overpayment of pensions;
  • The bank managers who foreclose on small businesses, farms, and homes thereby increasing the suicide rate;
  • The ministers and bureaucrats who imprison refugees in concentration camps thereby destroying their lives;
  • The polluters who destroy the health of millions in Australia;
  • The capitalist system who consigns thousands of young and old people to grinding unemployment;
  • The ministers and bureaucrats who consign Australian Aborigines to the most wretched condition possible so that many are dead or blind by the age of 40;

As Dick Cheney well knows, members of the ruling class can shoot people and get away with it. The criminals run the system. So why are still supporting the Capitalist system?
