I am disgusted by the despicable practices of our government. It's always something, keeping us on our toes, or maybe more like cortisol sky high, tears behind lids of eyes, my country is enacting state-sponsored terrorism. It's the little things daily that add up to big things, and the big things that some portion of the citizens and officials would have us believe are only small things. It's the day-in-day-out refrain that what we really need more of in our country is respect for nuclear family values, then ripping children away from their parents because they chose to seek a better life for their family across a line imposed by humans on this land we all share. And this earth we all share is gradually ruined day by day at the hands of the same people who tell us to love families more then destroy them at their convenience.
People, humans, we move. That's how we came here, to live on this continent. Our birthright is one of migration and immigration, seeking something new and different and better. What a travesty we've made of the magical opportunity we've been given, squandered.
Even worse, 37% of people in our country have been polled in agreement with these egregious transgressions against human rights. Pardon me. I think I just threw up. If a government will do this to small children, why do you think you're safe? Maybe not today, tomorrow, or even in ten years, but someday, if tyranny isn't thwarted, it will affect you, too. And look, I know this is why some choose to bear arms, but I choose to believe that the maintenance of civil, equal society is the only way to keep a tyrannical ruler in check, and data tends to affirm that belief.
I know I'm no longer churched, but one thing came to mind this morning, and it's the thing I'll leave you with.
"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me."
