What's the issue

What's the issue

Dealing with death is never easy, it makes it harder if it is a senseless death, an expected death is hard enough, but to face an annihilation like the one in Orlando, with its inexplicable effect, just adds to the intense pain and grief.

Murder is everywhere, we are mesmerised by the antics of Oscar, and I must paus here and go off topic a little to question the psychologist's logic. Did I hear correctly that Oscar is a broken man, given to bouts of depression and grief. So he is even less stable now than he was when he shot his girlfriend through the bathroom door four times with hollow point ammunition, and now is the time to set him free on the community at large? Just wondering.

Back to the crazy killing that is popping up everywhere, police are being gunned down in the Western cape at an alarming rate, unacceptable to the authorities there. Politicians are being popped off like sitting ducks at the county fair. Okay we don't have county fairs so it would have to be at the school fete.

The bombings in the war torn regions of our world continue with the awful news of the fatal Turkish Police bus bombing.

ISIS is digging trenches and planting mines on the Turkish border with Syria and the Turkish military have apparently been told to look the other way. Mines are the most disgusting weapons we have in our military operations to date. Illegal ones excepted.

The soccer hooliganism leaves me thwart with anguish about the collective consciousness of our human race, I wonder where it is all leading to and how it is all allowed to continue. For some it is a wonderful political tool, point the finger of blame and try to force the shame on the other party and maybe you will look not so bad yourself.

So now how do we fix the problem, I won't bring up the farm murders that seem to never end, oh dear, look, I just brought up the farm murders again, darn. Anyway, to the solution, maybe what we should do is bury our heads in the sand like Hlaudi, just pretend that it isn't happening or close the windows and doors and not look outside at the burning tyres and stoning mob of discontented citizens who have been robbed of their dignity.

Somebody better get to Hlaudi and give him some reality tablets, regulating journalists and turning a blind eye to violent protests can only last so long and then what do you think will happen?

Even if you don't believe in scientific research, that doesn't make the results of the research any different.

Anyway, there is no cure for stupid so we will have to just soldier on into the setting sun, whistling an up beat tune to console our nerves and thinking positive thoughts like if you don't believe it it it doesn't exist.
