We don't have to join the fray, however... It's always a choice.
We are sitting at the crossroad and people are praying for another way - a real and lasting resolution to the mess we now find ourselves in that doesn't involve seeing our children die.
Sometimes I wonder who's showing up though, with those solutions...
Unfortunately, too many are waiting for a savior to rescue them or a hero to fight for them. So they will follow the first false leader and hero that comes along and will follow that person off the cliff.
Until we re-learn to think for ourselves, to stand for ourselves and each other, we will just be lemmings and minions following those that promise us all that we wish for. As we stand in line to greedily accept the monkey paws they are handing out.
