I, for one, am energized with the latest movement against our harmful
rabbit hole we are all going down. After the last ‘horrid event’ the children
are now standing up and shouting for the adults to protect them. It is a cry
for help from those who do not have the ability to feed, clothe, shelter or
protect them.
Like the #MeToo movement, there is a bit of guts to this children’s
movement to adults. It is not like no one knew any of these issues were going
on but the adults form a committee and then make a study and a report and
sometimes a legislation that doesn’t get passed and the grown ups say their
politically acceptable statements and wring their hands and go home and wait
for the pizza to arrive.
Today it seems some businesses are becoming sympathetic to the children’s
plea and close ties with weaponry proponents may just be a brief PR stint or
something else? If everyone points to a non-profit organization that pays no
taxes but funds political bureaucrats as the reason for this massacre is like
questioning the world’s religions for the constant history of war.
Will we listen to the children’s cry for help? Will we do more than light
a candle and have a quiet time of reflection and try to distract their
attention to something better than death? Will we imprison our kids in walled
shelters manned by armed guards and lockdown alert drills? Will we close
outside sporting events with the possibility of a random deadly assault?
Will we (the adults) do something?
Even if it is wrong the children are looking for parents and elected
leaders to show enough gonads to DO SOMETHING! Stop all the blah-blah-blah and
DO SOMETHING! Arm the teachers or ban the assault rifles or expand research for
mental health but DO SOMETHING!
Will we?
