law and order.

This is Part Seven. Part One is here.

Law and Order.

Relevant, given the “debate” last night.

It’s always money or some form of “America is going to be overrun by looters” or “we won’t have any police” or “terrorists will kill us all” (shit, sorry that was the old one before we didn’t need it anymore). 

Okay, back to the Christian stuff for a quick second. Did Jesus give a rat’s ass about law and order? Did his disciples ever worry or preach that? Honestly, if you consider yourself a Christian, please sit on the question for a second. If you’re not a Christian you probably know the answer. 

Big hint: the government killed Jesus and most of the disciples for wrong reasons - and Jesus didn’t really fight back. In fact, he argued for a non-violent approach to life which is very Buddhist and also what Gandhi and MLK modeled. They weren’t all into the government cleaning up protestors - they were the protestors. 

Yes, Jesus was the protestor. That’s why they killed him. And Christians want to elect a President that will kill the protestor too. 

Sit on that for a hot second.  

Okay… so the whole Christian story is basically the opposite of law and order but let’s ignore Christians.

Guns. We love guns. 

Americans own more guns per capita than any other nation. Americans own nearly half of the guns in the world owned by civilians. I mean, again, how is this something we’re not “over” and COVID is?

Quick note: no country in the world has outlawed guns. Not a single one. That will not happen here. Stop whining about it. 

Defund the police. 

Quick other note: no one wants to remove police. They want to better train police and better remove all the crap police have to deal with so they can actually do the things they are trained to do. In other words, better police.

This could mean no guns for police but, again, many countries do this and have great police and low crime rates - especially if it’s tied to civilians not walking around with guns. 

Quick. We have the biggest military in the world stationed all over the world and we spend more than the next 10 countries combined That means we spend more on our military than China, India, Russia, Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, the U.K., Japan, South Korea, and Brazil  combined. Combined. Did that sink in?

If you told me my neighbor spent more on his fence then the other ten neighbors combined (including neighbors with way bigger yards) I’d wonder what this neighbor’s obsession was with spending money on fences. 

And Biden wants to spend more. I hate that. (Again, this guy is not a lot of Democrat’s first choice.)

Quick other note: we basically have two huge problems in our country that we can almost trace every problem back to and which Trump has not only not done jack shit about but exacerbated. We have one world problem that he has also not done anything about what exacerbated. Actually two.
