After many hours of thought, I have to say something. I can't take it anymore. I don't care if this is a one-way forum. Why does it take a FOOTBALL coach being fired for a campus to riot? Are there not more important things to spur a riot, like say-student loans? Or, hey, one better-child rapists? What has happened to us as a species that we feel competition-based-industries trump the welfare of 10-year-old children at risk? What happened at Penn State has been happening for years in the Catholic church and religious institutions across the globe. In the end-people in power eventually feel the need to abuse it. The sad thing is that only now do most of us give a care because our top-10-B-C whatever is in danger of our favorite "coach" statue being the icon of sexual abuse. Joe Paterno knowingly let a cycle of abuse continue. He's not the first and won't be the last. So-what do we do from here? Maybe, when you see someone raping a child you go to the police and tell them what you saw? Maybe we all stop being so centered on our 1% or 99% or our facebook status that we take a look around, and reach out to those that are truly in need of some help-be it the abused or the abuser. At some point, we all have to reach a state of awareness that we move beyond our own needs and look at those of those around us. Yeah, some hippy-peace-nick-stuff: but COME ON PEOPLE-get a fucking grip. This week has been a revelation of pathetic action on all of our behalves. Whether it is pointing the finger or passing it onto the next, "larger" finger, we all lost something this week. I speak with a perspective that knows what a cyclical amount of abuse, violence, and argument can do to one's psyche. Stop the cycle. Take action and stop pointing the finger.
Much Love,
