I am trying to think of what
to say about the shit which is going on with the mass shooting thing. There is
so much bullshit in this that I am at a loss for words, or have too many words
to describe my outrage. Watching the news does not help. Reading shit on
Facebook and other Social Media is ludicrous. Trying to pray, sadly, gives
little relief. And the fucking republicans voted against doing anything about
it! It is like I woke up today in a different reality where we just have to
take shit and can do nothing about it. Except it isn’t a different reality, it
is what is happening right the fuck now.
I write and wonder the effect
these words are going to have. So many differing opinions and ideas make it
hard to decide. If I write about gun control, I am a pacifist even though I own
a gun. If I disagree with what some idiot fundamentalist Christian preacher
spews I am an atheist. If I do not want our troops to go back to the Middle
East and say so, I am unpatriotic or a traitor. If I complain about
conservative politicians taking bribes and committing crimes, I am a bleeding
heart liberal. If I talk about possible solutions I am a communist or a
simpleton. If I complain about the misinterpretation of the Second Amendment, I
am a socialist lamebrain. If I talk about how much I love and respect the
President, I am a nigger lover. And finally, if I let any of these things
bother me, I really am a mentally defective simpleton. WHICH I AM NOT!
Mass shootings have become an
accepted part of our culture. It must be so because they have occurred more
than once a day for the last year. San Bernardino has mesmerized the country
and once more launched the debate on what there is to do. The next day there
was yet another shooting in another location. Only a few died. Anyone know
where that happened? This abomination has transpired more times in
America than anywhere else in the world since 2005. It has become a money
making proposition. News agencies have had a field day with the topic, in
between advertisements, commercials, endorsements, and outright graft, and yes
I do mean graft. Graft is, when not talking about medicine or planting trees, a
function of politics. When was the last time anyone read, viewed, or heard a
news report that was not driven by the politics of the administration of the
agency reporting?
How did this become? It is beyond my comprehension that this
has developed into a daily affair. It happens and we ask why even though the
answer is right in front of us. We allow it because we are too selfish, scared,
or ambivalent to address the real issue. We want to own guns and any talk of
restricting that scares the shit out of us. We would rather let crazy people
shoot up innocent men, women, and children than go without something only a
small percentage of our population have the need or right to use. Assault
weapons are for those who are in the business of staging, defending from, or
reacting to assaults. This means soldiers, police, and those others tasked with
defending our country. They should not be sold. AT ALL!!!!!
Owning a gun is not a bad thing per se, except when you have
it with the intention of harming another human being. Hunting and home
protection are reasonable uses and purposes for owning a gun. Owning one that
will fire twenty or thirty times before reloading is overkill and, apparently,
we are in love with killing a lot of people at a one time. We must, it happens
so much that is the norm instead of the exception.
As to the rest of what I have said, I stand firm. News
agencies are Satan’s tools and we embrace them. I am not a traitor; I am an
Honorably Discharged veteran of the US Army who believes war is an atrocity and
should be avoided at all costs. I am a supporter of Barack Obama because he is
a good man and a fine president. If you disagree with this then keep it the
fuck to yourself and, by the way, he is also a white man as well as a black
man! Our government breeds criminal activity in the manner in which it has
chosen to make and maintain election law. Christian Fundamentalists regularly
deny, in their preaching, the teaching, and commandments of Jesus Christ where
it applies to loving their fellow man. I embrace Jesus Christ as my God as
taught me by my mother and sister; two loving and committed Christian women.
And in conclusion, the Second Amendment was included in the
Constitution at a time when private citizen militias were necessary for the
defense of the country. That is no longer the case, and the complete meaning
and spirit of the amendment is being horribly subverted by blockheaded
imbeciles who do not know how to fucking read!
Peace…Goddamit!!!
