A (NOT SO) BRAVE NEW WORLD


I think we must have entered an entirely new world.




I mean, whomever in the course of any lifetime, amongst almost 10 billion people of all ages whom exist in this world, ever witnessed anything like this?




The brutal death of a handcuffed black man beneath the knee of one of “America’s Finest,” Protests, demonstrations, looting, arson, 24 hour news coverage, tear gas, rocks, stones and bottles, international outrage, lawlessness, a world pandemic, face masks, a lack of social distancing, “Black Lives Matter” painted along a major boulevard in our nation’s capital, clearing non-violent protestors, so that a president can do a photo op with a Bible, a myriad of mindsets among Americans of different colors and socio-economic status, death and destruction on the part of “protectors” and “protestors,” alike, asinine statements by news organizations, such as, “Riots are simply the voice of the unheard,” (which only serve to encourage more of the same), the outrageous concept of defunding, or abolishing police forces which promotes anarchy and mayhem, a justifiable fear that the two major issues with which we currently contend, one viral and one social, walk hand in hand, (and that the results cannot help but be catastrophic).



We must have entered an entirely new world.
