Truth: The Sky Is Falling
With the recent tragedy that occurred at Fort Hood, the reality about the horrible world we live in seems to rise to the tip of every one's tongues. I am not going to minimize the severity of what happened with those innocent lives being taken away at the hands of a wack job. I think that goes without saying. 9/11, VaTech, Oklahoma City, Columbine, and now Fort Hood...just to name several events that have occurred where many lives were taken away by the hands of terrorists.
What I'll say about those events, is how I notice the reaction of people to those events. It's not what I immediately look for, but I do notice it. Recently I've seen comments and emails from people who are "wondering what the world is coming to?", or " I can't believe this is happening in America". I shake my head at those comments. I find them silly and insulting. Wake up people, evil exists, and it has for thousands of years. Just because you are oblivious to the news, and aren't aware how the world turns does not mean this is something new. Everyday you run the risk of someone killing you, hurting you, or those that you love and know. It's just that simple. You can pray all you want. You can pass on your heartwarming pukey chain emails. It's not going to change things.

You have to be the change. You have to VOTE for those that will have our country's best interest at heart in defending our way of life. You are the one that has to be vigilant and stand up. No one is going to do it for you.
Stop shaking your head in disbelief. It's crazy out there. We are not in Kansas anymore. I'm convinced, we never were.

I've heard from some talking heads that this nonsense has always occurred but we never heard about it.
I don't believe that. I think all these mass killings follow a pattern of "Loser in Life" mentality where some whackjob thinks he's going to teach everyone a lesson. Every time we report on these jerks and make excuses for their behavior, we embolden the next round of losers.
What we should be doing is openly mocking the losers when this happens. We should be making it clear that nothing but shame comes to those who commit these atrocities; You don't get to thwart the game by taking your ball home, but rather you end up hanging from the basketball net in the eternal wedgie.
