Hold small hands in grieving, comfort so decieving,
Aria Sharp - Epitaph
Self -1999
If a child says that they hope someone dies; a moral person would scold them…
Does this indeed mean that we are a nation without morals?
Adults encouraging the hatred makes me kindle my own rage at such ignorance, blind as they are to what they create with the blasphamy that they spew as a righteous religion, or the dangerous concepts that they praise.
The Hardblogger recently wrote on Anne Coulter’s confrontation with Elizabeth Edwards during a Hardball interview of the former and can’t help but find myself remembering certain phrasings of S.O.A.D.’s Hypnotize.
“Why don’t you ask the kids at Tiananmen square?
Was Fashion the reason why they were there?
They disguise it, Hypnotize it
Television made you buy it
Mezmerize the simple minded
Propaganda leaves us blinded”

But it goes beyond words, and it goes beyond implications.
We, as a nation, have no right to critisize another country for doing something that we encourage in our own nation. Do muslims raise children to be hateful of others, kill anyone who deviates and tell those children that they are justified because God says it’s okay?
…Some do; but does every other nation.
America has an enemy that lurks among us like a poison, seeping into the mind of those too lazy to look any further than what they want to hear being spouted from the lips of whoever can spew it the loudest.
America has an ememy that firmly believes that murder is justified for as long as it in dedication to their cause.
America has a disease that is stealing the shreds of compassion that were just beginning to grow and steeping them firmly in the ignorance of blind hatred, because it is easier than facing the harder truths.
In the name of God, do nations hate…In the name of frustration, the athiests contempt, and in the name of ignorance, everyone else picks a side that best reflects their own convience.
“What is popular is not always right and what is right is not always popular.”
…But shouldn’t it be?
Since when do the hateful, spiteful, bullies that should have been taught as a child that their actions were not okay, become the platforms of which we give praise and respect to? …The thought makes me ill.
In School, when the bully didn’t get in trouble, it was because mom and dad didn’t think their child was doing anything wrong; and it was the other child’s fault…giving that bully immunity to do it again, less the parents of the spoiled brat throw a tantrum of their own.
Then those children grow up to be Anne Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and Dick Cheney; the 30 percent of our nation acting as those parents, too proud of their children, who are so successful. Spiteful little children who understand just how much better they are than everyone else, and who aren’t afraid to stand up for what they believe in, boast of how dissenters of their “Truth” should just die, because they are ruining their piece of the country. The parent who justify hate with righteousness, ignoring anything that questions that right, or offers light that it is horribly mistaken.
…Hateful people are the disease; and we cannot cure them, because it has already steeped too long, enforced too gleefully and gone too long without the vaccanine that is empathy.
A world without a cure…and so many people infected;
And that’s why we should never stop trying to save them; one mirror at a time.
