I have been watching, listening & feeling the hyperbole of opinions, fueled by unfounded rage, tear apart the fabric of my country. At least from the Lame Stream Media's standpoint. Then again, it's not really ripping apart the fabric of my country so much so as it is destabilizing hope in those who had little to begin with. I could focus this op-ed on my disdain for such or suggest some solutions. However, I believe we are framing the argument wrongly in the first place.
I was taught that asking better questions will yield better answers. So, let's quickly tackle the initial premise of this piece with that in mind. "Do we deserve better than the situation we are currently in?" If you ask most, they pretty much think they are good people & deserving of fairness. However, if you ask me, I have long wondered why our society hasn't started filming CIVIL WAR PART II (The Non- Fiction Episode). If you believe in fairness then how come only the guy who throws the punch gets arrested but not the instigator? How come it's a woman's right to choose but only the man's responsibility to pay & provide? If fairness is an actual integral part of our society then why are we allowing bureaucrats whom we pay, to control us by mandating wearing "ANTIBACTERIAL MASKS” for a “VIRAL OUTBREAK”? I don't have the answers but I will keep questioning the bullshit that is spewed from the mouths of so-called insiders & intelligentsia.
Maybe GOD endowed us all with bullshit meters & it is quite possible that we are not of different races but of different tribes. So, I disavow racism as a thing. I disavow wanting free shit because everything costs someone something. I also disavow emotion over facts. That means, here at REALLOUIE.COM, I will spend my time reading the landscape of our socio-political interactions & culture to consider core factors instead of conspiratorial rhetoric & propaganda... With a bit of humor.
The gauntlet of openness & truth has been thrown down & I believe in doing the throwing rather than waiting on others. After all, we only live once... So far!
