I was thinking this morning as I drove home about the
trouble this country is in. Our mothers have to go
outside the home to work, so that we can afford to eat.
This is not because our fathers cannot earn enough to
support us, but because we are taxed about 50% of all we
earn. Our children are abandoned at birth, practically,
to day cares, and sitters, and TV. They are programed
day and night with more horror than any 50 of them would
see in a lifetime without TV, and they will usually get
that in one two hour movie. They come home to empty homes
and are forced to take care of themselves for hours.
Their games are more violence, computer games where they
get to do the killing themselves. They have no support,
no mom to cuddle them and kiss their hurts. In essence,
no parents.

They go to state and federally supported schools where
they are forced to sit in class and learn facts and
figures that have nothing to do with their lives, and all
their creativity is trained and ridiculed out of them.
They are taught from pre-kindergarten on not to think for
themselves, not to feel, not to create and not to pay
attention to their intuition. Their rights are violated
daily by police and teachers searching their personal
belongings. They are now considered criminals and searched
without due cause regularly. On the one hand they are forced
to take care of themselves after school while their mothers
are, in their liberation, working for a living. On the
other hand they are treated like stupid cattle and made
to conform to some pretty screwed up rules and regulations.
Is it any wonder they are angry? Is it any wonder that
when they have a problem at school that they grab a gun?
It is what they are programed to do from the time they are
old enough to sit up and watch TV! Then we throw them in
jail and can't understand where we went wrong. Or what
is wrong with today's youth. The kids in middle school
now have been abandoned to the television programers
influence for about, what? 10 to 13 years now!!! At a
conservative estimate of 30 hours a week that is 15,600
hours in 10 years!! We wonder why they are angry? We
wonder why Columbine happens? I wonder why more kids
don't strike out! We are the ones who are crazy here.

Then, when we have these children who do these terrible
things, we, in all our wisdom, prosecute them as if they
are adults. Do we really think that putting them in prison
will help them? Or anyone else, for that matter? Do we
really care about helping them? Or do we just desire them
to disappear and someone else to take care of the problem
for us?

It looks like, to me, that we want someone else to take
care of all our problems. We want medicare and medicaid
to take care of our parents, welfare to take care of our
brothers and sisters, homeless shelters to take care of
them when they are really down and out, the police to
protect us from those who think that they should just be
able to take what they need and want, and big brother to
steal the money out of our pockets to do it all for us.
We justify our hardheartedness by whining "well, we pay
our taxes". We are so afraid of each other that when we
see homeless people on the streets of our cities, we make
it a crime! Does anybody out there get this? We have made
it a crime now to not have a home to live in! No place
to sleep. No place to cook meals. No place to take a bath.
Not only do we not have compassion, not only do we rush by
them on the streets with our eyes averted, not only do
we not help these people...we put them in prison. We are,
supposedly, a Christian nation. Remember, "do unto others
as you would have them do unto you"? Does anybody out
there remember?

Now, I understand, we have put a quadrepalegic in jail
for smoking pot. Look folks, it's well known now that
marajuana helps people in pain manage that pain. We all
know that it kills brain cells and causes memory loss.
It irritates some people's hearts. But come on, it is
not worse for you than a good stiff drink and a cigarette.
It should not ever be illegal to do anything to your own
body. It should not be illegal to do anything that doesn't
hurt anyone else. And when someone has cancer or aids or
like this guy, is quadrapelegic, to put them in jail for
just trying to make it thru the day as best they can is
disgusting. What kind of sense does this make?

It is only about control here. The government is
outnumbered and the more folks they make criminals the
more control they have over us. And the more money they
steal out of our pockets. And speaking of money, now
you can not even carry cash on your person or they can
take it away from you and you will pay hell to get it
back, just in case it is drug money. It is just ridiculous
what some people have gone thru because they like to
deal in cash, not credit. We put scum in the White House,
we kill over a million babies a year, and from what I
saw on the news last night our scientists are using the
aborted babies brain stem cells to grow new organs to
prolong our own miserable lives. And it is criminal to
grow and smoke a weed. We are at war because of a weed.
Amazing. America? Land of the Free?

We have allowed most of our rights to be taken away. Now
they are trying to take our guns away (for our own good,
of course). We pay 50% of our money in taxes to people
who make laws to protect big businesses, special interest
groups, organizations with their own agendas, and line
their own pockets with it. We are mollified by the little
that is spent on helping a few. We are over taxed, over
indebted, over inflated, and over run with laws and
lawmakers whose biggest goal is to come up with another
law to keep us criminalized and under control. We are
all too afraid or too lazy to do anything about it. We
are bombarded with TV shows showing us what happens to
those who don't conform. We are afraid of our neighbor.
We have been programed for years to be that way. We see
every violent crime committed in the country and some
committed around the world. Every news broadcast is
about someone hurting, killing, mutilating someone else.
Most of what we call entertainment is just a close-up,
more graphic version of the news. Saturday nite prime
time TV is made up of cop shows...whatchagonna do when
they come for you? The message is plain...conform, obey,
or die.

I say get rid of the fear. Reverse the brainwashing.
Love your neighbor. Be compassionate. The biggest
percent of the population of the world is no different
than you...they love, they cry, they laugh, they are just
trying to do the best they can do to get thru the days...
whether they have more than you do or less, dress better
or worse, drive a Porsche or a 69 Buick, we are all the
same underneath. God loves us the same. We are all one,
doesn't matter if it's the guy on death row, or the
prostitute on the street or the drunk that ran over your
mother, we are all one...love is the only reality...the only
way to stop the violence is to love each other. And love can
not live with fear. I love you all.
