Trials And Tribulations
And this day seems to be some day, (Which was actually the other day by now...), that is called black Friday in that
country of America. Some name that seems to be made up for the purpose
of consumerism, consumerism, and overconsumerism And what about
sustainability in consumerism. And this day is also that buy nothing
day, as in buy nothing in ones consumerism. And I find myself here
looking at and reading articles that are sitting in my email inbox with
titles that read Five hostages killed in Jewish center, chaos at hotel, Mumbai gunmen besiege hotels, Wife shot and killed at New Jersey church, Man killed at Scientology building had church ties.
And these are articles from the past week. And the one factor they all
seem to have in common is gun violence. And this is a story that seems
to be never ending from yesterday, today and tomorrow. Yet another
person has lost his life to gun violence. Guns are the worst invention
of a death industry ever. And it is an industry of war, a vicious cycle
that seems to feed upon itself. If only guns and firearms could be
banished from every person on the face of planet earth, and from every
form of media, marketing, video games, toys an advertising. And with
those presidential elections that have taken place in that country of
America, is gun violence an issue that will ever be addressed, or will
it simply be a continuation of the current rhetoric of the state, "The
war on terrorism". And the state of what. And who are the terrorists?
And sometimes I wonder if these are all signs of the beginning of the end of the world
when civil liberty concerns are a concern, society and its morals and
values collapses and global terrorism exists. And I start to wonder if
the world is seemingly spinning out of control and if this is all 2012
and Kali Yuga descending on track. Where is the world headed. Is there
hope for the world. And for some reason that verse comes to mind again
from that Bible book, "For the love of money is the root of all evil,
and while some have coveted after, they have erred from the faith and
have pierced themselves through with many sorrows". Does power and
authority breed corruption. And I am only one blogger. One voice in an
internet world of web 2.0. No one is free when others are oppressed.
Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind. And what does this have to
do with a No Police State?
