Just where did the wheel come off in this train wreck we call “home”, the one founded on the basic right to the pursuit of happiness and freedom for all? I sure don't see it working that way these days.
The home team wins the Super Bowl and there are riots in the streets? The home team loses the Super Bowl and there are riots in the streets? An event occurs 2500 miles away from home; a white man kills a black man and is found innocent of the crime; and gee, it’s ok to destroy our local neighborhood Sears store?
Locally, Mr. Lester Chambers was performing the song People Get Ready, which he dedicated to Trayvon Martin, the black man killed 2500 miles away. A white woman climbed up on stage and attacked and beat him, saying it was HIS fault.
The answer seems to be the same for any occasion, 'Let's burn our house down!'. Where is the logic in any of this? Where is the respect for the other residents of the town? Where is the relevance? Aren't these rioters infringing on other people’s rights? Burning and looting in the name of peace and justice is like killing to preserve the peace. It's just nuts.
There is an old saying "my way or the highway." I think it’s time for all these self-righteous, self-important thugs to hit the road.
Maybe things have gone on this way too long. Maybe there is no going back. I'm not wishing for a "Mayberry" world but I don't want one of "Soylent Green" either. It seems to me we are letting the thugs drag us down and I don't want to go with them!
Come on people; let’s get together - Stay Tooned.
