MAYBE
It is time to have a discussion
about mental health in this country; violence in this country - as I watch the
news coverage, even on Fox, an ultra conservative media outlet, when they cut
to commercial after talking about psychosis and sociopathy, the
immediate commercial is about an upcoming VIOLENT film with the actor having a
knife in his hand ready to slash a woman. Face it, we feed off violence. Maybe
somewhere people are going to say enough and our images in toys, television,
film, books, games will shift; maybe we will also value the lives of countless
people who die on our streets in our urban centers - the kids there who don't
even ever expect to live past 18; maybe we will talk about the upsurge in hit
and run car accidents where people are killed; maybe we will have a discussion
about why America seems to have legions without a soul; maybe we will talk
about the children we have killed as collateral damage in our wars and defense
around the world; maybe we will get around to talking about PEACE - inward,
outward, and demonstrated. Maybe we will get to the point of each and every one
of us being the STAND that THE VIOLENCE MUST END!
