Unjust
Rewards
Here's
a little secret: No matter how much of
a bad-ass racist you
are it's a whole lot harder to kill a group
of black
people
if all you have is a sharp, pointed stick.
The same goes for snuffing a classroom
full of 6-year-olds or assaulting a movie
theater full
of
Batman fans.
That's why all this talk about getting
rid of the Confederate flag makes me want
to chew my own foot off in disgust, because
the flag wasn't the reason those people
were
killed.
They
were killed because stupid people can own
guns. We can apply all the tests for mental
competency we want, but guess what? Even
intelligent gun-owners
can
go
full-blown
stupid at any time. Jealousy, drugs, greed
-- take
your pick of trigger mechanisms. The result
will be the same.
Right now conservatives are saying
to us "Look at the pretty flag. Watch
the flag go bye-bye. Bye-bye, flag. Gun?
What gun? Oh, that was a long time ago."
But the flag, and all that it represents,
will still be here. Even if all the major
chain
stores
quit selling them there will always be
someone, somewhere cranking them out,
willing to make a butt-load of money catering
to hate and bigotry.
So what do we
do next time? What will we blame? The same
flag? Really?
Stupid. Really stupid.
