In California, under the 3 strikes law, we have guys going to prison for 25 years to life, for non-violent crimes, such as drug use. This guy only gets 40 for all the crap he put children through? Disgusting. How many lives did he ruin? How many children suffered, and will never recover? How many parents had their children taken from them, never to see them again?
Yet commit 3 non-violent felonies, and you could be locked up for life. I personally hoped he gets gang raped every day of his incarceration.

Quote from : Wikipedia : Human Trafficking : Global Extent, Awareness, and Response
Due to the illegal nature of trafficking and differences in methods, the exact extent and growth of the industry is unknown.
According to United States State Department data, an "estimated 600,000 to 820,000 men, women, and children [are] trafficked across international borders each year, approximately 80% are women and girls and up to 50 percent are minors.
...
Of the 45,000 to 50,000 that are brought to the U.S., 30,000 come from Asia, 10,000 from Latin America and 5,000 from other regions e.g., the former Soviet Union.
The primary Asian source countries to the U.S. are China, Thailand and Vietnam.
Although trafficking into the U.S. and Europe has gained a lot of attention in recent years, anti-trafficking advocates in Asia have been addressing these issues on the continent for decades.
...
Human trafficking across international borders requires cooperation and collaboration between states if it is to be effectively addressed.
The OSCE (Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe), an ad hoc intergovernmental organization under the United Nations Charter, is one of the leading agencies fighting the problem of human trafficking, with an area of operation that includes North America, Europe, Russia, and Central Asia.
Council of Europe's Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings was signed by 41 Council of Europe member states and ratified by 26.
...
The most common destinations for victims of human trafficking are Thailand, Japan, Israel, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Turkey and the US, according to a report by the UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime).
Quote from : Wikipedia : United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is a United Nations agency that was established in 1997 as the Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention by combining the United Nations International Drug Control Program (UNDCP) and the Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Division in the United Nations Office at Vienna.
It was renamed the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in 2002.

It seems people get off with a slap on the wrist for serious crimes but get threatened with life time imprisonments and astronomic fines for stupid stuff like file sharing and crimes that are actually for the betterment of society. Liek the person who got convinced of terrorism for minting liberty dollars! They almost got the same penalty. That blows my mind.

One person selling young kids, ruining their lives as they have to forcefully get raped and abused like some old perverts sex toy and they will likely never be able to live a normal life. And one person who mints silver coins so people can have something with actual metal value to trade rather than the US reserve notes. Most people probably just were buying them for collectible purposed and investments anyways! And in the process could have saved the US monetary system if they would have adopted the idea rather than calling him a terrorist.
Something is askew here!
Not to mention he will likely get out early with parole. Also how many of those kids were...killed, or died and covered up and forgotten about which will never be discovered.edit on 24-3-2011 by 12345lonestar because: added

History of the Diagnosis. In the DSM-III, the American Psychiatric Association contended that merely acting upon one's urges toward children was considered sufficient to generate a diagnosis of pedophilia. But then a few years later, in the DSM-IV, the APA changed its criteria so that a person who molested children was considered to have a psychiatric disorder only if his actions "caused clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning." In other words, a man who molested children without remorse, and without experiencing significant impairment in his social and work relationships, could be diagnosed by a clinician as a "psychologically normal" type of pedophile.
And a door indeed appeared to have been opened by the DSM change, because soon afterward, a journal of the American Psychological Association published the infamous Rind, et al. article--a study which downplayed the effects of, in particular, man-boy sex. Rind supported his argument with the finding that quite a few of the boys remembered their childhood sexual experiences positively.
The Psychological Association must have been aware of the implications of its own pronouncement that pedophilia was immoral, because the March 2002 issue of the American Psychologist carried an official article stating that the association had learned something from the Rind fiasco. Two of those lessons learned were that, first, the APA must build bridges to conservative groups, and second, in the future, psychology must be prepared to defend its validity as a branch of science.
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) is working toward full normalization of pedophilia and pederasty. Dr Fred Berlin of Johns Hopkins is a main spokesman for the "normality" of pedophilia and pederasty, they just shouldn't "act on it." This is the third "intellectual" and medical generation building on Kinsey's fraudulent child abuse data used to destroy laws protecting women and children via the American Law Institute in 1955. Judith Reisman, Ph.D.
(CNSNews.com) - In a step critics charge could result in decriminalizing sexual contact between adults and children, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) recently sponsored a symposium in which participants discussed the removal of pedophilia from an upcoming edition of the psychiatric manual of mental disorders.
Psychiatrists attending an annual APA convention May 19 in San Francisco proposed removing several long-recognized categories of mental illness - including pedophilia, exhibitionism, fetishism, transvestism, voyeurism and sadomasochism - from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).

The complete and total madness that societies have seemingly descended down into is understandable when we consider that we accept insanity as the appropriate response to a number of issues. In 1865, the United States finally brought to an end the horrendous practice of slavery that certain states within the U.S. had practiced since its inception. Then, in 1868 the 14th Amendment was adopted, and completely reversed their position on slavery, essentially making slaves of every person born on U.S. soil from that point out.

Now, I understand that for some, my assertion that the 14th Amendment made slaves of us all will create a certain amount of cognitive dissonance, but prior to the passage of this dubious Amendment, the federal government acknowledged rights as being unalienable and preexisting government, but with the passage of the 14th Amendment, suddenly all people born on U.S. soil, simply by virtue of their birth, are declared U.S. citizens, and worse, are granted rights by the federal government that they all ready had to begin with.
Originally posted by Jean Paul Zodeaux
Some will argue that the 14th Amendment was necessary to "give" the slaves rights, but they always had rights, and the 13th Amendment didn't change that, and certainly the 14th Amendment did not change that, and the reality was that their rights were unacceptably and grossly denied and trampled upon in order to make them slaves.

This piece of legislation was one of the first steps toward an aggregation of power for the federal government, and the foundation for casually treating humans as chattel. This is why today human trafficking is treated with less concern than the sale of illicit drugs, or tax evasion.

Quote from : Wikipedia : Verichip
VeriChip is the only Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved human-implantable radio-frequency identification (RFID) microchip.
It is marketed by VeriChip Corporation, a subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions, and it received United States FDA approval in 2004. About twice the length of a dime, the device is typically implanted between the shoulder and elbow area of an individual’s right arm.
Once scanned at the proper frequency, the VeriChip responds with a unique 16 digit number which could be then linked with information about the user held on a database for identity verification, medical records access and other uses.
The insertion procedure is performed under local anesthetic in a physician's office.
As an implanted device used for identification by a third party, it has generated controversy and debate.
Destron Fearing, a subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions, initially developed the technology for the VeriChip.
