Vicious life<\/p>\n
From Merdeka<\/p>\n
Who says the Indonesian community is polite, religious and has
\ndeep faith in God Almighty? Yes, many people do have a solid
\nfaith in their religious teachings, however, more people in the
\ncommunity have dirty minds. Gambling, prostitution, drinking,
\npornography and corruption are easy to find in a large city like
\nJakarta. These indecent practices have gone to the point of no
\nreturn. So the authorities have begun to take harsh measures
\nagainst those involved; the operation is particularly carried out
\nin the metropolitan area. News reports state that many of the
\nvices have been wiped out.<\/p>\n
As a matter of fact, vice is a social disease as old as human
\ncivilization. People know that the dirty life existed during the
\nlives of the prophets. Who exactly has the right and might to
\nwipe out the evils? Basically, everybody is responsible for
\ncombating them. But, those who have power are the most capable of
\neliminating such vices.<\/p>\n
Take the case of strong drink. Forbidding people from selling
\nalcohol is not enough. As long as it is produced it will be
\navailable on the market. Therefore, why don't we just close the
\nfactories that produce it even if the state income declines as a
\nresult.<\/p>\n
The same is true with obscene films. Harsh measures are
\nnecessary to wipe them out. Mere appeals to film producers to
\nproduce quality films have proved unsuccessful. Sanctions must be
\nimposed. In this case the Department of Information should do
\nsomething to stop production of films that promote sex and
\nexploit woman's bodies. The best way to combat these vices is
\nthrough power. The government has been successful in dealing with
\npolitics and the economy, why should it be powerless in the
\nsocial and cultural area?<\/p>\n
