Sheeple, or Passively Unaware?

The odd thing about media these days is not that it's showing you so much content about how people in our society are continually fucked, literally and figuratively, though seemingly continually more the former. But moreso that that's somehow the thing to do when you discover a travesty. You tell everyone. But, where is the usable system of record that tells us what the laws are, what systems we have in place to enforce each one, and how each one is doing? To see every case instance next to each law instance. And to know how they ended up. What was the judgement, and what was the sentence, or why was it not able to be prosecuted? Where's that website? Do we sit here for all of our lives just piecing the story together anecdotally, based on clues, just sort of loosely trusting everything is being done as it should until we hear a whistle blow? And in the meantime absorb endless media, reporting on and fretting about it? We create a perpetual societal state of fear and paranoia, that something awful is looming around the corner.

If it's not clear what the enforcement mechanism is for a law, then of course perpetrators can fall in the cracks of enforcement without notice. Sure, it's a lot of information to manage, but why not even attempt to centralize and digitize it so that it can be clearly seen and understood by the people who are ostensibly living under those laws, who could readily recognize gaping holes and take sides on possible solutions, and track the progress of their laws, and step in if progress is not being made sufficiently. It's possible to live with a deep assurance that things are being done as they should, and that you are safe in your country. But we need to to recognize it foremost as a lack of visibility. People can't answer simple questions about the laws around them and get simple answers, which is a bad sign.
