93 days to go - what is wrong with the world?

The last few days have been very hard for most of the world watching the devastation in Japan hit by the earthquake and then the tsunami. Thousands of people have died and even more are left homeless. I find this so sad to see all the people losing their lives and I feel even more sorry for all the survivors who lost their loved ones, lost their homes and their life long savings. Homes they have had for generations, memories they have collected for centuries. I think its like taking someone soul away.
What makes me really angry is the fact that there are still people who will go and loot the devastated area, people who will take advantage of children who just lost their families. Just like what happened in Haiti, people traffickers taking children to slavery and prostitution. What is happening in this world. Whys are the laws protecting the bad guys? Why as a society are we permitting crime against other people? Why is it that a criminal after killing someone, or molesting a child, or raping a woman has got better treatment in jail than the victim left without much help? What is wrong with our world?
Why do we let this happen? Why are there so many drugs available to young people across the world? Who is making money out of this? Why are our governments and politicians letting all this happen. How come we as human kind are not protesting? Why do we think that it is OK when someone abuses a child? Is it because it is not our child? All the children are our children! What kind of future are we going to create for the next generations if we have millions of mentally unstable children who have been abused and exploited. Isn't this like a chain reaction. How can we be happy if the people around us are suffering in their adulthood and doing the same as to what was has been done to them?  Why are 90% of TV shows on crime and violence?  What are we trying to teach the new generation? Is this the 21st century or are we as a race going backwards? Why do politicians talk about moving forward but nothing much is done to stop crimes, violence and drug trafficking?

I do not know what the answers to those questions are, but I know that unless we do something drastic to change the way things are in this world then our children and their children will not have a good planet to live on.
