We are a violent people. We solve our problems through violence. We are always at war somewhere. As one of the last nations on earth that has the death penalty, we seek revenge through state-sanctioned murder. Forcing 40 million people to live in poverty is an act of violence.
Halting all efforts to save the planet from climate change is an act of violence. Mass incarceration is an act of violence. And, right now, this hr, the Senate would not pass the bill to keep the government open UNLESS THE “VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT” WAS ELIMINATED! And it was.
We are a violent people. We cherish violence as much as we claim to cherish Apple Pie. I honor the Parkland dead every day and I thank and honor the living Parkland students who have ignited a mass citizens movement. Each of us have to do our part, or this madness will never end.
