What a sad state of affairs we live in today. Is it any wonder why our society is falling apart, why we have so much hatred for the parliament, why our children are so detached from family life, and possibly why there are so many broken families today.

I hope that our voice can be heard to turn around this messed up society, and I pray for all the victims falsely accused and misunderstood in their actions.
