With all the hype and hoopla that surrounds the Superbowl here in the United States, I was once again reminded that the Superbowl also brings pain and misery to thousands every year. The Superbowl is the most highly trafficked weekend of the year in terms of human trafficking here in the US. While many of us sit around eating snack foods and enjoying the game, people are being sold to high bidders behind closed doors.
Ignoring the problem will not make it go away. In fact, I will go so far as to say that we are all to blame for this state of affairs. That's right. It is OUR FAULT!!! While we don't necessarily go out and participate in the trafficking, we are all more than willing to turn a blind eye to it.
The problems we have in the world today all exist because, at some level, we all choose to be unaware. We choose to not see and not understand because it gives us freedom from responsibility. Yes, we often pay lip service to the corruption on our planet, but we do not truly want to get our hands dirty.
We have arrived at a time when the evil is so far out of control that we must stand up to it or be lost. We can no longer just sit back and allow ourselves to be entertained by the bread and circuses they leave for us to distract us from the evil.
It is time to wake up. It is time to stand up. It is time to raise our voices as ONE and choose to love each other so much we will not allow anyone else to suffer needlessly again. What affects one person affects us all.
The world will not change until we do. Take responsibility for yourself and the world around you, and others will wake up and begin taking responsibility as well.

We in the USA have become the new Roman Empire and we know how that ends. The Roman's had the Colosseum, we have stadiums all paid for by tax dollars. The Romans had there armies all over the world plundering the weak and we have ours also all over the world. The Romans had a corrupt government that only cared for their own self interest, so do we. It is just a matter of time until the bottom drops out.
