Women involved in that lewd business called
modeling tend to become, before long, street-smart, wily, cautious, and cagey.
But whether in China or in Canada , you
just don’t know what awaits you round the next corner. You just can’t be on
your guard every second of every day.
We should never pretend that modeling is a noble
way to make to living. Who will deny that it’s all about the sins of vanity and
greed? But neither should we shirk our responsibility to punish those who do
harm to vain or greedy people. No matter who gets murdered, we should demand
the death penalty for the crime. Totalitarian China is brutal; but there is
justice there for the crime of murder. Totalitarianism is an evil kind of
regime. But it can sure do the job when avenging a victim! Three cheers for
that!
We would not be cheering for full justice if the avenging of this wrong were left up to Canadian permissivism. (I’m not making this word up.) This is what the Canadian form of democratic socialism has spawned: permissivism. The more you permit, the less you punish. The less you punish, the more you permit again, until crime is no more crime. Justice here has gotten so lax that we find ourselves cheering, even for totalitarian justice! Not that we want totalitarianism for ourselves. But there is consolation in the fact that a Canadian is sometimes avenged for being murdered, as in the case (we hope) of Diana O’Brien. ‘Avenge’ is a good old word. The State exists, in part, to avenge evil. It is right and just to pray and vote for full measures of justice: life for life and tooth for tooth. Rulers should be a terror to evil (Romans 13.3.)
