Show MK LK MK LK MK LK MK LK having a monetary redress? Or monetary compensation? Well, it's a tangible thing. Money in itself is not important but it becomes very symbolic. An apology doesn't mean anything if it's not backed up with something more meaningful and monetary compensation is meaningful. Very meaningful. Anybody can say I'm sorry and get away with it. But it doesn't mean much. You got to hit them hard. So you're saying kind of put it where your mouth is. If you're defame another person's character, you're not going to say, I'm sorry and get away with it. You're going to be sued. Hard. If you violate, try to violate, you're not going to go into court and say, I'm sorry. They're going to be· fined. This is where redress makes sense then. Oh, yeah, you betcha, believe it. It's so easy to say, I'm sorry. It's not going to mean too much. The redress, the internment and putting people in camps, and it happens again, then you hit them hard with monetary compensation they're going to think twice. What's happened to you though? In the last year? To make you commit so much time to this? Because I'm dedicated to this movement of redress. But why, why this year? What happened this year 81 |
