"WE" MUST CHANGE!!

Will The Dark Forces Prevail? 

President Obama, addressing the mourners in Connecticut last night, said that "we" must change.  Change, along with Hope, have been two recurring themes we have heard from him, from the time he appeared in our political world.  But change is inevitable, they say; and not all change is good.  Most people, we're told, fear change, believing it to pose a threat.

 

The Dark Forces that have beset us all, certainly since 2008, and, when we think about it, for much longer before, came perilously close to total victory in the 2012 election.  As predicted in this blog, that election outcome only opened the door to the hard slog we must all make to achieve the kind of nation and world that we all pretended we had; until we could pretend, no longer.

 

But how? What do we do?  Our slothful, cunning, lazy, shallow media advises us to simply not speak the names of these shooters we've had to deal with over the past several months.  As if that, alone, will represent some kind of positive change.  If we simply don't "glorify" the shooters, they assert, in their twisted logic.  But that's crap!! Concentrating on the shooter is precisely what we must do -- not the guns that we're encouraged to focus on.  Don't get me wrong, I believe that the gun lobby represents the darkest element of the dark forces that beset us. 

Behind those guns we find cowering, disturbed, angry, fearful boys -- of various ages, colors, income classes, and social benefits (or lack thereof).  There have been disturbing signs around for several decades pointing to a steady decline in the quality of male citizen this nation produces.  I first became aware of it at the time Nixon abolished the military draft in 1973.  We can't go back on that; but we can examine closely the benefits the draft provided  to the development and quality of our male citizenry. 

 

During the time of the draft, the public, through the military, paid the money, and repaired the failings of both the home and community to produce a psychically healthy male.  We need to find a way to get that back again; for young males of all colors and classes.  The perverted "justice system" we fund and operate is little more than a conduit for the "prison-industrial system" we have established for purposes of investment on Wall Street.  It must be ripped out and torn to shreds!

 

I saw the Life of Pi   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_of_Pi  yesterday.  It's an uplifting story of a young male confronting himself and winning the battle.  I highly recommend the film, and the story, for inspiration and, perhaps, a path we can follow in our journey ahead.

Stay Vigilant!
