Seeing - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos
"You televise the Ampatuan trial and it will start to not make those things right. Certainly it will start to not make massacre right. The impeachment trial gave us an education in the vileness of taking public money, this trial will give us an education in the vileness of taking human life. I personally do not mind that the gruesome pictures of the dead in Maguindanao are shown to the public, with the usual alerts about parental guidance. If that is what it will take to shock us out of our mindlessness, out of our insensateness, out of our delusion these things happen only to other people and they cannot happen to us, then I’m all for it.
Sometimes making us see things is the only way we will see things."
