Our findings with reference to organized crime was that organized crime as an entity didn't participate in the assassination of the president. However, we were unable to preclude the possibility of individual members of organized crime having participated.

Indifference
Indifference is a blatant unkindness,
Far worse than anger and hatred.
With indifference you can get away
From victims, their anguish and miseries.
With indifference you can be well safe
From interruptions to your work and joy.
Neighbours are of no consequence
Nor are their lives meaningful.
Anger is creative; it brings changes.
Hatred is creative; it brings effects.
Indifference is not no-intrusion.
Indifference is destructive and inhuman.

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of beauty is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, but indifference between life and death.

The general fact is that the most effective way of utilizing human energy is through an organized rivalry, which by specialization and social control is, at the same time, organized co-operation.

Resistance to the organized mass can be effected only by the man who is as well organized in his individuality as the mass itself.
About 25 years ago, I started out as a reporter covering politics. And that sort of just evolved into organized crime, because organized crime and politics were the same thing in Boston.

The indifference
The indifference makes everything meaningless.
It gives you no joy, nor sorrow.
You take no side, nor disturbed.
Involvement kills the indifference.

Relativism is not indifference; on the contrary, passionate indifference is necessary in order for you not to hear the voices that oppose your absolute decrees.

And, therefore, indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor -- never its victim, whose pain is magnified when he or she feels forgotten.

As Long As Hypocrisy Is Not Mentioned
Is there really a difference between,
Organized crime...
And organized religion?
On the various levels both are allowed,
To exist and is permitted?
'Yes there is.
One is openly afflilated to politics.
And the other declares not to be,
As long as endorsements are made...
Indirectly,
By those who use their associations...
To run for political office.'
So there is no difference?
'Well..
Technically no.
However...
As long as hypocrisy is not mentioned,
And one's faith in democracy is declared...
Anything,
If one notices...
Is thoroughly acceptable.'

Man is an animal, but a social animal. Society for its manifold blessings asks in exchange sacrifice and compromise. Concession is the world's walking gait. Fevers and hallucinations sweep over us, it is true; but be they permitted to infect the public body, slaughter shall result. Government is either organized benevolence or organized madness; its peculiar magnitude permits no shading.
