Charlie Part 1

(This Part 1 of three parts. Read em all if you want to get the picture) 

Charlie 

The man who chooses the second amendment over the lives of children dies by the hand of the man who somewhere between owning a gun and his own reasons for killing a man with it are the same man because the moral abstraction the 2nd amendment doesn't cover is beyond them..

That's why Charlie doesn't get it any more than any of the others who simply never have gotten down to being human. But if there is one truth about living, it's the dying. We're all gonna die, just like Country Joe says.

Those who bemoan the fact that Charlie's kids will never know him are the same as those who think nothing of the kids murdered at their desks or millions of people murdered and having their land taken or even the children of their enemies. Everyone not in their box is fair game. And Charlie was fair game in the game he put out there to play.

The interesting thing about Charlie, it wasn't the 2nd amendment that killed him but the first amendment, the freedom of speech he so readily wanted to deny to everybody else. That was his mission.

He denied Gaza. He denied Palestinian. He denied empathy for school children killed. He denied that moral equivalence necessary for humanity to exist separate from the savagery of his immoral benefactors in the White House. And, he denied the first amendment, the very thing that the second amendment was designed to protect, in fact, it's the only thing the second amendment is supposed to do, and the only thing it's done is be the clay pigeon of the federal government or right-wing racists and nationalists.

Guns and weapons, bombs and drones are the only thing between you (the public) and freedom. These assholes in the government and NRA will tell you they protect your freedoms but, in reality, if any of them will meet me in the streets of Washington DC without a gun, at high noon, I will laugh at them, turn and walk away, and where will that leave them. They are nothing without their guns, sticks and stones, pitchforks to back them up.

Everyone has the right to defend themselves. But equality has never been the jurisdiction of racists, nationalists etc who have always taken the law into their own hands or made sure the law was in their hands. When law is the only thing that needs backing up with violence, you're on the wrong track, man. Law is supposed to reflect the standards of the public, and can be, and should be, to the benefit of the public welfare, not be equated to the violence necessary to quell every fear and insane notion of fearful and ignorant extremists.

There is nothing in any religion or supposed democratic institution that says freedom needs to be whittled down until it basically is nonexistent so a few can live above the law or without the law. The reason the nation is overcrowded, chaotic, and unmanageable is because they (the wealthy and powerful) want to treat it like a business deal rather than a social environment in which people of all colors, religions, and cultures work and make a living for the families, friends, and communities.

This nation has been unnecessarily run on fear since the Industrial Revolution when businessmen decided to create one big banking, business model for the entire world.

Slavery, beltlines, manufacturing sweatshops and there you have it. One big business oriented and directed experiment. Since then, nearly all laws have rendered less freedom for those who believed in freedom, and more violence, wars, and oppression from those who control the resources, jobs, and direct the institutions supporting the business model of social behavior.

The concept of fear they enhance because they think that without them the world is filled with anarchy, chaos, and never ending warfare, is the complete opposite of reality. The world has some six billion people on it and it's just a few same nations which have fostered all the real anarchy, chaos, and mayhem, and they've been the same few countries since the twentieth century began.

We, the people, have endured despite them, not because of them. And we'll continue to endure, despite the probable fact the ignorant men like Charlie and Trump and all their violent cohorts.

After all, he believed in public executions. Nuff said.
