Welcome to Absolute
Corruption
In a way, it's sad to welcome you to a site dealing with corruption in
government and abuse of power. It's sad that any of us have ever been in
such a position, but it happens every day.First off, this site is brand
new. I've debated for years about putting it up, but finally I heard yet
one more story and it was, as they say, the straw that broke the camel's
back.
This site is dedicated to exposing issues of abuse of
power by government and other public service officials, most notably the
State of Maine Department of Human Services Child Protective Division.
This stems from my own personal experiences
with DHS, and years of hearing stories from friends and strangers. These
often unbelievable stories are tales of discrimination, abuse, and the
breaking of laws.
This site is in its infancy. I invite anyone who has been victim of
abuse of power by government officials, or who has experienced any sort of
corruption within the government, to contact me
and help build this site.
Why the menu?
I've been asked about the odd menu design to the left. From a graphic
design point of view, it's wide, deep, and cumbersome. The blocks are
off-kilter--slid to the left and right, front and back, balanced
precariously--the whole thing looks like its ready to topple over.
In my
view, the Department of Human Services--and the system in general--is a
lot like this menu. It too is wide, deep, and cumbersome, insofar as it is
"Big Brother," huge and without exterior control. And it, too, is
off-kilter, much like a stack of unsure blocks. It may seem like a
towering brick wall--insurmountable, impassable, rock-solid--but it isn't.
This is an illusion. They don't work together and aren't truly interested
in the overall benefit of the system--the officers of DHS are often
working for their own hidden agendas, and that's no way to run a railroad.
So, it looks like a brick wall, but the bricks are a lot like the menu to
the left: start pushing, and the whole thing will come crashing down.
The message: the brick wall needs to be brought down. Major reform is
needed. We can make it happen.
