It’s the same as imagining that 19 Arabs armed with razor blades pulled off the immensity of criminality surrounding 9-11. Yes, they even pulverized thousands of tons of concrete and steel with nothing but box cutting razor blades. Right. And out of the midst of that unimaginable cataclysm, the very passport of the Arab “ringleader,” Mohammad Atta, wafted down to a clean spot on the sidewalk, pristine, wholly intact, and lodged securely between the feet of an FBI agent, who picked it up and said, “Aha! Here is proof of Arab criminality in this enterprise!” (A veritable Sherlock Holmes at work here. Ha, ha, ha.) Right. You poor rubes that believe such rubbish. I’m so glad I did all that time in San Quentin. It made a real man of me.

I have a suggestion: since everybody will probably be lined up against walls and shot eventually, anyway (by the same people that take away all the guns), why not just go into that “good night” with one’s full mental faculties instead of clinging to psy-op straws that are too ridiculous for any human being with a brain even to attempt to get behind with a scintilla of faith and belief? Just say, “No!” I do it all the time, been doing it since I did time in SQ. When I am lined up against that wall, I’ll just spit in my murderers’ direction if I can’t hit him/her/it/them in the face with it. It would be more human than licking the boot.

What would happen if we espoused empathy, acceptance, love, patience, mercy, and kindness? Would we be seen as naive? Would the resistance to this be so broad that such behaviors will never be the norm?

History is replete with atrocities most of which occurred before there was medication. Who knows how many occurred before guns.

Is there a futility in all this? Yet, is not in the futility an opportunity to keep offering care and hope?

Why don’t we have a mental health system that has a reputation for helping? Because it’s ignorant, ill and corrupt.

Why is it I once had a therapist who once treated troubled young kids at a top hospital and talking to me his eyes quickly swelled up when he told me, “for some reason therapist that go into the field of treating troubled kids are often very troubled themselves.”

Now we’re constantly fed contracts to sign stating we comprehend the ‘privacy policy’ at the dentist’s office, doctor’s office, likely even the vet has one for your dog. So we’re awash in ‘privacy’ (even a few college football coaches have used this as an excuse not to admit which player(s) are injured on their roster before next Saturday’s game).

And yet…

We have no privacy. All our legal records are readily available on the internet. Past addresses, phone numbers, where and when educated, etc etc etc. The gov’t builds gigantic edifices to house every email, every keystroke every American has ever typed into a computer or phone. More ‘secret’ installations are built to house all the recordings of our phone calls. Drones are in the air spying on us. WE have NO PRIVACY AT ALL. Yet we have Privacy Policy forms galore.

YET…

When WE want to know what drugs a now DEAD person was prescribed by their doctor(s). These (usually) young men (for the most part) are now DEAD! DEAD PEOPLE DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THEIR PRIVACY.

I recall years ago now when a Kipland Kinckle murdered his parents and then shot some fellow students at Thurston High in Oregon we learned right away that Kip was on 1 or more of these drugs. People began to put 2+2 together and found it added up to the dangers of the drugs… so now, due to ‘privacy’ we can’t find out the truth in these more recent cases.

It is ironic that the never ending War on Drugs that has destroyed families, done its part to turn the US into a full fledged Police State, and imprisoned so very many people continues to be waged despite the fact that no heroin or cocaine or lsd or mushroom or marijuana user(s) have blown away children in school. Yet Rx drugs, which have been proven time and time again to initiate these kind of responses in people, continue to be shielded by the Govt and those paid off by the multi-billion dollar drug corporations for their silence.

God, what a pathetic excuse for a country. The rest of the world will be SOOOOOOOOOO much better off when this clown kingdom/criminal murder machine is in the dustbin of history.
