I
live in Middletown, Connecticut. Right behind one of our elementary schools here. In
fact, my back yard is pretty much the playground. They just let recess
out and a week ago I would have complained about the screaming kids
running around. Today, as I look out from my window, I welcome the
noise, the laughter, the screaming, the freedom in running around. The
beauty in being a child that young.
I see there is a police
officer at recess today along with our children. And I say OUR children,
because we all have a responsibility to each other. The police officer
has never been there before today.
This is what we are coming
to if we don't change: A police state, your personal rights infringed
upon because of a small amount of EVIL and INSANE "human beings".
Asshole reporters asking inappropriate questions at a VERY important
press conference where our President is attempting to tell all of us in
this country THE TRUTH, THE SOLUTIONS, the things we need to think about
and discuss. (Who was that guy, and where can I write him a letter??)
The media has taken over. The violence has taken over. Gun control is
not the ONLY solution, better mental health care is not the ONLY
solution. They are BOTH solutions. They are BOTH correct. This is not
about politics. Your right to bare arms does not also give you the right
to own the kinds of weapons that cause MASS DESTRUCTION. These are the
REAL weapons of mass destruction. Look, we have finally realized that
they are RIGHT HERE.
Show the children love. Tell them why
it's important to live in love. Teach the children peace. But first,
learn it yourselves. I am still learning it myself. Peacefully protest
within yourself. Turn off the TV, and tune into love. Just don't drop
out of the fight.
*Inspired by the reporter who had the nerve to ask about the Fiscal Cliff (a media-coined term) as the first question in today's Presidential Press Conference concerning Gun Control and the recent events in Newtown, CT at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
