Incredible
[There you go, you grousers! This is exactly the type of article that only makes sense in this new venue. Where would it fit in, if not for the new Broadsheet section?]
[Ahem.]
Rebecca, you ask why the government isn't doing something about the despicable and inhuman treatment this cult is perpetrating upon women. That's a good question, and you're right to bring it up.
What I want to know is, in 2005, why aren't we all doing something about it?
Imagine if some sect decided that the only way to get into heaven was to own at least three black people . . . and then they actually put that theory into practice by buying and selling black people among themselves.
What would the mainstream media's reaction be?
What would your neighbors' reactions be?
How many people would be pressuring government to do something about it?
Yet we sit here while these women are treated as slaves. Sure, some of us talk about it, and there's an occasional article in the mainstream press, but is that really sufficient in the face of such blatantly inhuman behavior as this?
