Something Has To Change

More shootings and more killings.  Police officers gunned down simply because of the color of their skin...white in this case.  Our children aren't safe playing on the street in their own neighborhood, in their schools, or their churches.  Terrorists immigrate only to cause death and destruction in their new country.  Too many men feel they have the right to rape and murder their women.  Too many women think they have the right to leave their children in order to enjoy a freer life.

There is an old saying that we are going to hell in a handbasket.  I have no idea what a handbasket is but we can surely see the writing on the wall.  Our present society is in deep trouble and something has to change soon or we will destroy ourselves.

There is so much hatred and cowardice that it's hard to understand how people can live this way.  To feel hatred and illogical entitlement every waking hour must make a person become inhuman.  Where has this come from?  Does it start with that illogical sense of entitlement?  Does it start when a child is not made responsible for his/her actions by weak parents who believe their precious progeny can do no wrong?  Does it start from religious dogma twisted and preached by mentally unstable leaders?

I see a society so broken that I fear it is too late to save it.  I fear terribly for my loved ones, still young enough to suffer many years of a society gone wild.  Where is President Obama and why isn't he taking some kind of control of what is happening in the country he leads?  Forget the damn gun laws, there is more to fear than the people with guns.  It is time to fear the people themselves.  Something has to change!

I'm not forgetting about our Canadian society which seems to slowly follow the chaos we first see in the States.  We have our own falsely entitled and angry citizens.  Our jails are as full as those in the States.  Our immigration standards are as flawed as they are in the U.S.  We also blindly and foolishly follow those idiots who insist on "political correctness" instead of common sense.

The jails are full of people who were caught with minute amounts of illegal drugs on them.  What is more important...to fill the jails with these people or to give more prison time to terrorists, pedophiles, and murderers?  Is it more dangerous for us to be exposed to a pot smoker or a pedophile?  Should we fear the zombie who has destroyed his/her brain with drugs or make sure the prisons have room for real criminals?

There will always be some bad people but they never used to be the marching protesters who resort to gun violence under the guise of denouncing racism, sexism, or any other kind of "ism".  Protesters never used to choose to murder instead of peacefully protest.

Why do some people kill someone because of the color of their skin, their religion, or their nationality?  Why do some people cowardly sneak up on a police officer and kill him/her because he/she happens to have the same job as another cop who committed a crime?

Why do we hear constantly of people complaining, rioting, and destroying instead of working to build a better world?  Everyone seems divided by race, religion, nationality, etc.  It struck me as funny, then sadly, that the Gay Pride parade in Toronto had their own gay dissenters who complained the mainstream LGBTQ were not doing enough for the black LGBTQ.  Everyone wants others to do for them, focus on their needs, and financially support their wants!

We need to put more pressure on leaders to teach respect for country and fellow man.  There should never be a "black lives matter", "gay lives matter", or even "cops lives matter".  We all damn well matter and, if we don't work together to clean up our society, we will lose all structure and the day will come when it is as unsafe to walk on the streets in Canada as it is in Syria.  And who will take us in as refugees, feed us, house us, and see to every other aspect of our lives?  

It is way past time that we stopped allowing destructive public displays.  It is way past time that we should be cleaning up our country.  "Political correctness" is destroying us.

If responsibility for one's actions isn't taught in the home, then it should be taught in schools.  That is much more important than teaching grade school children about alternative sex practices!

No-one has the right to protest by killing!
