Oh, it is great at the moment.
We have some in the media hinting that you know the cause of the slaughter could have been avoided if everyone self censored.
We have LePen playing games at home, stirring up shit to try and get electoral gain out of tragedy
We have Benjamin Netanyahu playing games in Israel, stirring up shit to try and get electoral gain out of tragedy. Some vengeance in France recognizing Palestine was to be expected.
We have Egypt's Grand Mufti Shawqi Allam stirring up shit over another cartoon, again.
We have world leaders wondering if they missed a photo-op by not attending the rally.
We have had mutterings about a French Patriot Act and all the freedoms that took away by pretending to protect something or other with its spin off legislative knee jerks.
We have so called security experts coming out from under the nearest rock to try and scare us absolutely shitless.
We have governmental security agencies rubbing their hands in anticipation of ever more bloated budgets, even more armed people on the streets.
Yet a few questions don't seem to be getting much attention.
How do people get hold of automatic weapons and other means of mass slaughter in the first place? Oh dear this might upset the arms traders.
When you continually walk over people with Austerity to kick them in the teeth and discrimination to make sure they remain toothless thereafter, you wonder how people could become radicalized. Seriously?
When our governments merrily send troops to do whatever it is the "war on terror" is meant to do, no matter how many foreigners get blown apart, then we wonder how to avoid the backlash? Don't we understand how our past imperialism lead to the conditions of today and actually start wondering how to begin to right the wrongs?
No, like the French in Algeria the US today has decided to move on from torture war crimes by trying to look forward. War and slaughter? Who us? But we are the good guys.
No, our dear leader in another security blanket enclave will decide how to monitor us better, but not to actually plan to deal with the why.
Praise be for satire, it makes it possible not to go insane with the verbal diarrhea being poured into our heads at this time.
In the name of peace we must kill more.
In the name of security we must give up our rights and take away those of others.
Hallelujah, a brave new world awaits.
