RANDOM THOUGHTS

RANDOM THOUGHTS

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE

This will probably mean that one can not  (at least I myself) can not have just random thoughts, and yes,  most of the time my mind likes to make a salad of things, toss them up and see what flavor comes out.

So this guy goes out and kills three people at a local strip club, there are two things personally important to me about this story, no not what you are thinking, first, this is the second time in less than one year that one of the former class mates of one of my daughters has committed murder, and two, that son of the club owner was killed in this incident and the club was open again within hours of the shooting and murders, yes I said hours.

It was just a couple of days ago that I argued with this lady on the "on point" show on the npr website, (link below) that we should not try to fix kids, society, families whatever after they become a problem but try to find ways to not allow the problems to become that in the first place. "Can you tell me how a rational and logical person, EVER, having weighed all the circumstances and the consequence of his act can go out and commit murder.", my quote.

Now that is not an original idea, Leviticus thought so also, so did Hammurabi. I am not a callous person (bragging?), but drive around your town and notice something, I will tell you later, not half jokingly I told someone,  hey the boy is dead but them girls got kids to feed and their pimps to look out for.   Really is that what the humanity has come down to?  Do you really care about these incidents?  We had Arizona, the Fort Hood, the Aurora, and then not a week ago the Wisconsin deal, the message get over it real quick and move on, so to that notice something. When you drive around town you see the national flag at half staff, recently it is at half staff more days than it is not, do you care? Had you even noticed? Nah move on, life is short indeed, have some fun, you can not stop. Have some fun, grief is to be by the book, some psychologist tells you , may be even your preacher or Imam told you , "he is in a better place", he is with the Lord, blah blah, so you forget, forget and move on, have some fun, so your soul mate is dead surely you can find someone else, "he will want you to move on" and we become mechanical, automatons.We should just buy shorter flag posts and save on the cost of the rope too.
