House of Horrors in Cleveland, Ohio. My thoughts on Sex Slavery and Trafficking.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/05/07/missing-women-cleveland-brothers-arrested/2140359/

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!  Did you see this piece of news?  On USA Today, today, front page: House of horrors... 3 missing young girls rescued!  They were kidnapped about 10 years ago, when they are 14 (Gina Dejesus), 17 (Amanda Berry), and 20 (Michelle Knight) years old by a school bus driver (Ariel Castro) and his 2 brothers (Onil and Pedro)!

These 3 perverts locked the 3 girls in a house for 10 years.  Sexually/physically/mentally abused them over and over in the last 10 years!  In the article, they mentioned repeated chained rapes, violent physical abuses... they had total of at least 5 pregnancies and some loss of pregnancies because of traumatic abuse during their pregnancy.  Why in hell are these things happening?!  Doesn't it give you just this nauseous feeling and a craving for justice?

Why are we fight about all these less important 'rights' issues in America, when we have such bigger issues to address?  We should turn our energy in fighting these 'justice' issues?  These kind of injustice committed against women and children are SO MUCH BIGGER than what American likes to fight about with what we called 'rights.'  Please, don't ignore this anymore.  Shouldn't we all feel disgusted so we want to learn more and help fight it.  Doesn't this disgust you as it disgusts me?  Should we continue to turn a blind eye until it happens to us?  What would it take for YOU to change how you are behaving toward this issue?

Are you aware that the Pornography industry is one of the largest profitable industries in the world... Drug trafficking is the most profitable.  The second most profitable is Human Trafficking, which is also the 3rd fastest growing criminal industry in the world!  Do you still think Porn is benign if you just do what you do behind closed doors?  The supply is meeting the demand... you have to ask yourselves, where are these demand coming from?  Do you think porn is as consensual as the American TVs made it seemed to be?  Do you think women likes to degrade their bodies to any men willing?  Do you think Sex Trafficking is a 'foreign issue'?  Well, look again, it is in ALL of our neighborhoods... it is probably in your own house!

This disgusting porn industry is feeding into the Sex Slavery industry.  Check out these statistics:

1. 27 million humans are enslaved each year according to the most conservative estimates.  The real number is more like 50 million world wide.  This is more than DOUBLE to QUADRIPLE the number during the height of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.
2. 80% of victims are WOMEN AND GIRLS, and over 50% are minors ==> Sex slaves
3. UNICEF estimates about 1.2 million children are trafficked every year around the world, that is about 2 CHILDREN PER MINUTE ARE TRAFFICK FOR SEXUAL EXPLOITATION
4. A lot of these exploits are for 'sexual tourism.'  What do you think that means?  That means, overwhelming majority are men traveling around the world just to RAPE another innocent CHILD!
5. About 800,000 persons are trafficked across international borders each year, that means the rest of 97%, or 26 + million people are trafficked within the country... they are domestic slaves!  More than 50% of these are sexual slaves!
6. The SuperBowl is the event that earns most money for sex traffickers in the world.  Look at any major sporting event around the world... it's the same thing...

Ahhhh, THIS MAKES ME ABSOLUTELY SICK TO MY STOMACH!

TAKE NOTE: THIS IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW.  IN THE UNITED STATES, A GIRL THAT IS LEFT TO HERSELF IN ANY MAJOR U.S. CITY WILL BE APPROACHED BY A HUMAN TRAFFICKER WITHIN 72 HOURS!!!  Think Again!

*** YOU CANNOT DO NOTHING!  DOING NOTHING MEANS YOU ARE OK WITH THESE KIND OF TERRORISM AND ATROCIOUS VIOLENCE.  DO NOT TURN A BLIND FACE TO THESE SUFFERING WOMEN AND CHILDREN!!! ***

You can do something about this:
1. READ, READ, READ!
2. STOP USING PORN, STOP SUPPORTING THIS INDUSTRY.
3. Learn to protect yourself
4. Watch movies about this issue
5. You can check out these following links.  Be educated about how to properly approach this issue.

(*) The Heavenly Man - Brother Yun...

I am

Reading fast

My heart is anguished

My eyes are filled with tears

My throat choke out my laughters

In amazement for the undying Spirit

In love and obedience to Almighty God

For those who are beaten and killed to love another

Modeled by our beloved Jesus

Is the only source for

Faith

Hope

Love

.....

Amazed and ashamed

of my request for God's mercy and help

when in comparison

my life is a walk in the park

as compared to my brothers and sister

who are suffering such unimaginable terror

under the hands of those who they are hoping to reach

with the love of Jesus

They were beaten and killed

They suffered greatly

Perseverance

Push past the limit

Miracles

.....

The absolutely crazy Hybrid Car Hype. Count your cost. It is a hole in your wallet and your logic!

I got to test drive a 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid... Man, I got so many looks and good comments!  From its Maserati inspired grill, to smooth body curves, to a metallic black color, to a quiet eco-friendly philosophy and yet a muscular sporty look... I would have to say, this is a very sexy car.  I love the absolute quietness of the electric engine while I sneak up on unsuspected pedestrian, to watching me 'grow green leaves' on my driving efficiency feedback, to a CVT transmission that allow me to accelerate without feeling gear changes, to its responsive acceleration for a hybrid... it really zips, and I really had fun driving this car!  While good driving is rewarded by 'growing green leaves' on the monitor, bad driving makes the leaves fall off... I have tried both --> to grow as many leafs as possible by driving 60 mph on the freeway until the vines are full of green, to punching the accelerator until all the leaves fall off.... I still averaged 39.8 mpg!!!!

But, as much as I love driving this car and getting attention... is it worth the money?!   The answer is NO!  Here are the calculations... do it for yourself and see...

2013 FORD FUSION HYBRID
The minimal car MSRP price is $30,000, with a gas tank size of 13.5 gallons, and a 39 MPG efficiency, it give s a whopping 526.5 miles for a full tank.  At $4 per gallon of gas, it takes $54 to fill up a tank.  According to statistics, an average American drives about 1100 miles per month, with the average life span of a car being around 8 years and 150,000 miles.  So that means, you will spend about average of $1,353.85 per year on gas money and about $15,384.62 in its life span.

2013 TOYOTA COROLLA
This is one of the most popular selling car, an Toyota stable.  The minimal MSRP is $17,000, with a gas tank size of 13.2 gallons, and a 30 MPG combined efficiency.  That gives 396 miles for a full tank of gas.  At $4 per gallon, that is around $52.8 per tank to fill up.  With the above given statistics, the average total yearly cost for gas would be $1,760, and around $20,000 on gas over its average life span.

So, pretty close aye?  Now, here is where the 'robber-meets-the-road:'
1. The difference in MSRP = $13,000
2. The difference in gas cost per year = $406.15
3. The difference in gas cost for the life span of car = $4,615.38
4. That means to buy a hybrid is to spend $13,000 more to save $406 per year on gas.
5. With these differences... how many years do you think you will have to drive a hybrid to make the difference of the MSRP worth money you save each year on gas by driving a hybrid????  =====>  32 years! 

Now, tell me, is it financially worth it to buy a hybrid?!!!

Now, talk about how environmentally better is a hybrid... which has both gas engine parts and electric engine with lithium batteries?  Isn't that double the waste?

I think this is a no-brainer!  Hybrids are another form of economic waste based on fancy/sexy/strategic/celebrity/green/earth-saving marketing.  You know what is another economic waste based on fancy marketing?  Pharmaceuticals!  We have a lot more to talk about if you wanna chat about that...
