THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A SAFE DISTANCE...!

Good Morning,

Thanks for the input!
I'm a proud Pinoy but I never practice the so-called crab mentality!
I'm happy and proud when anyone, friend or foe, gets recognized for his/her
GOOD achievement. May they keep doing only GOOD things!
I'm going to act when someone is pushed around by a bully, STOP, if not
prevent it!
The oppressed will remain so, if we just fence sit and watch from a
distance!
...and mind you, there's no such thing as a SAFE distance! The world has
shrunk to just a village...
Time for action is always right, as the abuse is apparent or occurring!
Inaction, appeasement, complacency and the like, is SUPPORT to the
oppressor/aggressor!
What if your family member or loved one is the victim?
And you, the relative, is not around?
We who are nearby, should simply watch, enjoy the show???
Or should we ask the victim for a case of beer, before we help?
Or make the victim promise to give us a medal, before we drive the
aggressor/s away?
Won't you SPEAK bitterly of us, "those who simply watched the horrific
incident, but did nothing!"?

Mr Pascua (Mr Christmas?), I still thank you for at least making your
comments!
Leadership calls for correct action at the right time!
And, remember, to act later may be TOO LATE.

Wishing you a healthy New Year 2007!

P.S. - If we didn't have a Dr Jose Rizal who penned his thoughts to teach us
how, we would have an Andres Bonifacio who chose to fight rather than simply
watch or submit! If these two did nothing, could it be we would still be
under Spain till Japan drove them out 1941-46?
I don't know Mr Han Anemous personally. But his energy reveals his desire
to "change something for the better!"
Keep going Han...! Carry on... You earned my respect!
