Hi, hello, how ya doing.

Yes it's been over a year and yes that really sucks.  It's my own damned fault for being kinda afraid to put my fingers to the keyboard.

A long while back I did a post that I wasn't going to self censor, and I meant it.  However I felt like I still couldn't come up with the words or the right words to put on 'paper'.  But, in light of everything that has happened in the past year in society, in my own life, and the most recent bullshit shooting,  I feel like I should say something.

I mean what the fuck have we done to ourselves?  Seriously. It's not he government, it's not religion, it's not our schools or prisons. It's us.

It's us as the people of the U.S.   It's all of our faults to let the hate and insecurities settle so far into our own hearts and minds.  It is US that have let these terrible acts of violence and hate happen, it is us that have created a nation where you need three jobs to support two people in a shitty run down apartment.  IT IS US.

And we can't accept that.

We can't.

We want to blame corporations, our government and everyone but ourselves.  We want to be triggered and create our own little bubbles.  We want to recreate feminism, and create groups like Black lives matter.  When ALL lives matter. WE want our own utopias, where everyone else has to conform to OUR utopia, the way we want it, fuck free your thoughts and opinions.

What we need is something else entirely.  We need to mind our own god-damned business.  We need to support each other without asking questions and expecting something in return.

By doing this we can come together and fix the issues that really are hurting us.  Because WE CONTROL THE GOVERNMENT.  WE CONTROL THE BUSINESSES.   We together can fix the schools, by raising our children to respect teachers and instilling a willingness to learn, we can fix the schools by showing the government that we want our teachers paid and our classrooms stocked.

WE can do this.  I can't, you can't but WE CAN.

We can take our lives back from the fear we live in everyday. WE can do it.

But I don't think we won't, although that won't stop me from trying.

And this is how you can too:

DON'T spread propaganda. Don't push one agenda over another, yes the tragedy at Orlando was awful but by pushing for gun control or by pushing for gays to be 'cured' or abolished, you will make the problem worse.  It isn't the fact people can arm themselves. It is the hate that the people feel that makes them want to use that armament-.  HELP THOSE PEOPLE.

BE RESPECTFUL.  Cheesesjus we've been taught this since we were children, yet look at the hate.  LOOK AT IT.  LOOK AT THE WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH LOOK AT THE SHOOTINGS LOOK AT THE TRANS PEOPLE BEING BE BEATEN, AND THE STRAIGHT PEOPLE TOO FOR USING THE FUCKING BATHROOM.  LOOK AT IT.  This is the problem.  It's us. It's us unable to mind our own damned business. It's us unable to look at a person and say, "that's a person."  Not look a person and think "OMG IT'S DIFFERENT KILL IT OR BE AFRAID OF IT".   Because that is what we do.  And that's what's wrong.

And I don't care if you don't like what I'm saying. That it's our fault, just as much as it is mine for not helping, for taking sides to defending the weak.  Instead of defending we should be helping to make everyone equal. EVERYONE.  EQUAL. It doesn't matter if you identify as a cat, if you have human dna and genomes then you should be treated just like me, just like that guy down the street.

We should be ASKING for help. NOT DEMANDING compliance. WE should not place our personal beliefs over someone else's because of life style choices and demand that they conform to us or even the other way around.

GET THE HUNGRY OFF THE STREET and they we can debate theology. ALLOW ALL PERSONS EQUAL RIGHTS IN THE EYES OF THE GOVERNMENT, then we can debate racism. MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO LIVE WITHOUT WORKING TO DEATH, then we can debate sexism.

And I know you're thinking, well debating sexism, racism and theology will fix those problems. NO NO IT WON'T.  INSTEAD it allows people to be persecuted and hunted.  It opens the door for shootings. NO MORE DEBATES.

IF WE ARE PEOPLE WE ARE EQUAL.
