Click on the above story. Read the horrifying events. Notice how the text is slanted to blame the boy, deflect any responsibility from the system. A 10 year old boy is at fault for his own death. And they have the audacity to say how unusual this is.
We'll never get enough of blaming the victim of this sick, pychotic society. As long as we are promised a small slice of the riches and comfort, it seems defending all its' evils is necessary to survive. I can't go to a baseball game without a F16 screaming overhead as I sit during the playing of the War Song national anthem. A kid can't go to school, he can't take it. I get it.
This not the greatest country in the world. This is not the best economic system in the world. You don't have to be a part of organized religion because "it's better than nothing", it's not. You don't have to cross picket lines to get a job. We don't have to feed the karma wheel, fighting anger with anger - we can stop it. Parents can stop fueling the war machine with their sons and daughters, creating "careers" of killing. We cannot debase ourselves for a dollar.
And children don't miss a thing.
