Justso,
Please understand, it was not my intention to cause offence to you by saying what I said. I just wanted to respond to your post, because it seemed
from what you said, as if you doubted that there was a statistically significant problem with human trafficking.
One of the dangers of a crap saturated media, is that for all the noise they output, it can be hard as hell to take seriously, the importance of the
signal. This is why I tend to absorb mass media output, regardless of the fact that the stuff is crammed to the eyeballs with nonsense. What I do,
rather than shying away from it, is to watch it, but use my discernment in order to see where the narrative has become more important than the
content.
On the subject of human trafficking, my spidey sense, if you will, is rarely triggered by media reportage. There is no angle with a story like this,
no endgame for the media organisations covering the stories. It is simply the case that it is a widespread problem, which people are desperately
unaware of, precisely because of the victimology involved.
I am really sorry that what I said made you feel anything other than respected, and I will endeavour to make sure that never happens as a result of
my posting again.
