I guess the Evening Standard fulfills a social function: echoing people complaints and judicial needs. Almost everyday you find in its pages one case, irrelevant but catchy and, sometimes, appealing. Today, for instance, we have these photographs of a bull-terrier savaging cattle. Of course, the owner of the animal and the dog escaped before the police came. And here you have the social function of the paper. I guess the owner of the calf attacked turned to the paper in order to raise the investigation and spread knowledge to public, hoping to catch the fugitive and be vindicated.
I came in the tube thinking that this resource of using a paper to scandalize the readers and draw the attention of the main public in order to get some justice is gregarious and primitive. The reason is simple: it leans on the force of a group, a mass. On the contrary, progress means the recognition of the individuality and, as such, human rights and fundamental constitutions are written in terms of individuals. Thus, the weak and invalid have the same rights as the powerful and rich, and they all are equal before the law.
And here it is my suggestion. Get on with your own business! Help people out! Gain money helping people get some justice. If you are efficient, hard-working and lucky enough, people will happily pay for seeing their grievances justified and the offenders behind bars. You would be sharp enough to solve the case and have a fair and swift sentence.
Hope you understand what I meant, I can't stay more. I am tired, really, awfully tired and need to go to bed now.
