Is it all about revenge, not justice?
WTF is so terrible about wanting revenge? Many of us will never see "justice" for what was done to us, so why not accept vengeance as a substitute?
I think revenge gets a bad rap, probably 'cause of that whole 'turn the other cheek' jive (misunderstood and quoted out of context, btw) that the Xcult likes to shovel. A desire for revenge against those who brutalized us as children is natural, and, I think, healthy. To not want revenge is, to me, a sign of a disturbed individual.
As far as publishing the names, I wouldn't have minded at all if someone had posted my name on a list like that while I was in Straight. Hell, I probably would have been elated , had I known at the time, that someone was trying to help shut the place down.
ME TOO!!
This line of sanctimonious posturing over these kids' privacy is gross from all involved.
CATO uses these kid's photos on their site for advertising purposes. Is their privacy respected there?
Were these kids’ right to privacy respected when they were abducted? Is their right to privacy respected when they are prevented from escaping or "restrained"? How about when they are forced to wear "green shirts" to broadcast to everyone around they are "sexual deviants.” How about when they are forced to disclose personal info in group? And then have that personal info used to humiliate them further?
How about these kids supposed "therapies," "deviancies," and "issues" consolidated onto a tag along with their name and picture, like a baseball card and sent out to their families, and god knows who else? Hey make-beleive clinicians at CALO, DID YOU KNOW "THERAPY" and ISSUES RAISED UNDER MEDICAL TREATMENT SUPPOSED TO REMAIN CONFIDENTIAL?
Is it wrong to print Lisa Ling or Euna Lee’s name because being caught by North Korean operatives endangers their privacy?
Please recognize the bigger picture and issues at stake and respect them accordingly.
