A Call To Arms

 I know the title was borrowed from Ernest Hemingway, I sure he wont mind. Well here we are again watching how some sick bastard goes on a killing spree, only this time most of his victims were small kindergarden aged children. . Have you ever noticed that these kids doing all this killing are not inner city kids. They are kids that seem to have pretty much everthing in material comforts anyway? So why are these poor little upper middle class kids so angry? Well  i've said it before and i'll say it again, the first and maybe the most important is that in this country it takes both parents working just to provide the things that in the fifties and sixties , seventys one person could do. So now nobody is at home raising these kids, they have no architypes teaching them right from wrong, So where are they learning all this violence, you already know the answer. Hollywood movies, Violent video games, and the internet. Now then, i know after seeing what just happened a couple of days ago may have a lot of people thinking our government should outlaw guns. I believe this would be one of the biggest mistakes we could make. You have to understand this government of ours has way to much power as it is. And if you look at its track record the results are quite grimm. Have we one the war on drugs after spending billions of our tax dollars? No i dont think so and i honestly dont believe they really want too, because it would put a lot of people out of work not to mention a huge loss in revenue that is used to fund secret most likely illigal activities by our C.I.A. Well what about immigration  are they solving that problem. "I dont think so". and the list goes on and on of how our government seems to be incapable of doing anything it says its going to do.  Do we really want to our lives in the hands of these people who dont give a crap about working class america? And i know you have all heard this before how when firearms are illegal only criminals will have them. I really dont know why that simple little statment is so hard to understand. Folks i lived in Mexico for about three years and i have seen it with my own eyes, and you have seen it on t.v. that little statement is one hundred percent true. In mexico it is illegal to own firearms, so only criminals and police, have them and there is not much difference between the three. When guns are illegal it will only drive the black market price up, and criminals will still have them , and our government will have yet another war to spend billions of our tax dollars on. And we will be unarmed and at the mercy of  local police and by the time it takes them to get to your house, if your life is in danger, you will already be dead. And you could say that you died of ignorance for putting your life in the hands of our government. So what can we do about all this violence. The first thing i believe is. Someone has to stay home and raise the children. Stop letting your minor children play violent video games, and limit and supervise they're internet time. Know your child watch for signs of violence. Teach your kids right from wrong and stop assuming they already know. write to our government officials and tell them to stop our part in all the violence stop the wars. Start teaching in schools and at home the value of Peace and respect for all living things. Stop all this hating of people just because they maybe different than you. Replace all this Racism and and classism with Love ans respect. And Practice this old African proverb that says anyone can have a child but it takes the whole village to raise them.                                                                                                                                                                                              Change  wont be easy it never is . Some of you my think I cant possibly give up my job, we'd never make it. You will survive, your childs life, and the future we leave for them is way more important than any material item you could ever own. Go on food stamps if you have to our government created this mess let help you clean it up. They give away billions of your tax dollars to countries you've never even heard of everyday. So why not demand they give a little something our way. It is a sacrifice you will have to make. Ask yourself what is more important. I think most of us would give out lives for children. So do what you have to do to keep your family safe and healthy, And stop thinking that our government will solve all our problems, especially since they are the root of most the bad things that happen in the world to day. Do not put your fate in the hands of people who are not even qualified to wipe there own asses. They dont have the answers or the inclination to to solve even the smallest problems in the world today. Take control of these monkeys and make them realize that they work for us, we dont work for them. I dont claim to have all the answers, i never have. But i do think that true change has to start from the inside and work its way out and trusting our government to solve our problems is like putting, having a five year old child do your taxes. So in closing i would just like to say to the family's that have lost there loved ones in this recent act of violence that i am truely sorry for your losses and my prayers are with you. Peace be with you..
