STOP THE ABUSE

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,


Danbot
