YOU don’t watch what you are eating and change your lifestyle until your doctor tells you that you have hypertension. The eCommerce Act (Republic Act 8792) would probably have not been enacted if then President Erap’s website wasn’t defaced or, as some say, if Onel de Guzman’s ‘Love Bug’ virus hadn’t infected a ton of computers. I tell my son that if I die as collateral damage from all these killings I would come back and haunt him no end just to say, ‘I told you so!’ and repeatedly ask him what it is about ‘Thou shalt not kill’ that he doesn’t understand. Sorry (not sorry), I digressed. Point is, we don’t act on anything unless it affects us directly. We nonchalantly go along our merry way and without regard for the consequences, approve or dismiss things as we see fit, that is, as long as it benefits or doesn’t harm us (yet).
