Are we all just stupid? Clearly there is something wrong, deeply wrong in a country where deaths by guns, again and again and again, is accepted as business is usual. Are we so mired in ‘hate-speech’ that we can’t really see the flaws within our love affair with guns and death?
It’s disheartening to hear or read that all we need are good people with guns to “take-out” the bad people with guns! What kind of fricking logic is that? I don’t know a single person, myself included, to trust with a loaded weapon every day all day.
The harsh reality is that we Americans fail to grasp that each and everyone of us are capable of pulling the trigger. We all experience a moment or two of insanity, and that moment is all it takes for a tragedy to become national or international news.
Add in our individual prejudices based race, gender, sexual preference and of course religion, we have a boiling cauldron ready to explode and the media is all so pleased to pump up every single human tragedy for…...wait for it….RATINGS.
And ratings, high ratings translate into bigger advertisement dollars. So, let there be no mistake — the media will not, cannot curb their insatiable drive to fulfill our repulsive, voracious need for blood, guts and gore!
This love-affair with ‘hate-speech’ that we cleave to like mother’s milk is an insult to democracy and humanity. What sick f**k deemed hatred as a proper tool to lull the masses into complacency? What is it going to take for us to understand and accept that we are a nation of immigrants? Every white person that walks on American soil is an immigrant because this was not your land in the first place! So, we better find some way to work together to make this place a better place for whites, blacks, Asians, Latinos and every other ethnincity becaude we are doomed if we don’t.
