Jungle law?

One of our weaknesses is law disobedience, which shows up in many aspects of daily life. On the streets we often see traffic violations, reckless driving and other disturbances.

The latest issue is about missing people. The abductors have not been identified and the Armed Forces has denied any involvement in the abductions. However, after several weeks, some of the missing activists appeared out of nowhere but refused to talk about their experiences.

No one has any idea of the whereabouts of those who are still missing or who abducted them. This is a tragedy indeed. I feel as if we are living in a society where jungle law prevails.
