Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Since the formation of Wrongly Accused Person organisation it is fair to say that this well known quote has taken on a much more significant meaning for me.
There are times in everyone's life where they are likely to exclaim that they will never be shocked or surprised by anything again. However even after the most horrific ordeals new and equally bewildering stories continue to emerge leaving only one conclusion. Injustice exists in every corner of society and is perpetuated by each and everyone in it, the very moment you speculate on a rumour you have heard and express it you become part of the problem.
In conclusion it is clear that it is only when we as people recognise the enormity of the problem and choose not to accept it there can never be a solution. No source of injustice would be effective if we as a society did not turn a blind eye to it's existence and allow it to continue.

Good evening Billy. Here are a few quotes I keep in my notebook and refer to from time to time:-
Fraud and falsehood only dread examination, Truth invites it. Samual Johnson
Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth. Franklin D. Rosevelt.
A lie gets halfway round the world before the Truth has a chance to get its pants on. Winston Churchill.
Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person
is like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.
Elie Wiese quoted the following....... There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice,
but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.
I have many more but I won't hog your site. Am off now to do some more browsing. Justice 4 Brendon appears to have left a few links which will take a lot of reading.

Just a quick quote before I get to bed before tomorrows trek to visit various people affected by injustice.
Fairweather friends abandon ship when the storm lashes the boat and are nowhere to be found leaving those who are true of heart to battle the tempest to face the boat into the crashing waves. When the storm abates and the waters calm those fairweather friends wave from the shore. Little do they know, they have missed the boat that sails to shores anew.

"If we are not our brother's keeper, let us at least not be his executioner"-- Marlon Brando (1924-2004), American actor
Particularly relevant given the explosion of joint enterprise cases.

"Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice."
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Marian Wright Edelman:
You just need to be a flea against injustice. Enough committed fleas biting strategically can make even the biggest dog uncomfortable and transform even the biggest nation.
Keep up the good work Billy and Sandra. and keep on biting.

Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and
crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, these ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of
oppression and resistance.
Robert F. Kennedy:
Keep at it you guys you're doing a great job.
Hmm! All this talk about ripples,currents makes me want to go and play! Bye!!
