All The Things

So much has been happening in the world the past two weeks. Especially in the United States. I'm not one for politics. I have my opinions, but everyone around me has these huge, big shout in your face opinions about politics and what's going on in the US that I really don't want to participate. All I really want to say is if you're one of those people that say "F*ck the police/military! They just want to kill innocent people." To you I say, it's because of them that you have the right to say that. Because of them and the laws of this country, you have the right to vote, state your opinions without the fear of being executed. Yes, there are a few individuals that get power hungry and take things too far, but it would unfair and unjust to lump all police/military into the same horrible group that you're putting them into. I could just as well lump you into the same horrible group that needlessly make things harder for them, who throw cement blocks on their heads just because you think it'll help. As for the whole hot button of Black Lives Matter: yes. They matter. It's unfortunate that there are officers of the law that unjustly racially profile black members of our society. It's the same as putting those who contribute to their neighborhoods to make them better, who are upstanding, educated members of society, who want to make sure that our future (children!) don't fall into the same path as those who are creating harm and violence in the same group as those who are breaking laws, who are violating basic human rights of others, who don't have a conscience of what is morally right and wrong.

Okay. I'm glad that's out of my system.
