controversies
It seems every time one racially-charged incident ends, a gender or religious controversy takes its place; Ruminate on the issues dividing our nation and world.
Fundamental ShortCummings
I recently finished watching 'The Sopranos' (highly recommend by the way) and it's an interesting insight into Mafia culture in the modern world. The idea of being a "rat" as the worst thing you can ever be is interesting, especially given how common a thing it has become in the advent of the witness protection programme and the rise of FBI influence since the 1960s. The Mafia is full of rats, but the code still stands. And it is punishable, deservedly, by death, members would say.

The Attack on Free Speech by Facebook
For two years I have been victimized by every law enforcement agency I have had to deal with in Georgia- refusing to hold police officers accountable for a FEDERAL RICO violation committed by law enforcement in Chatham County Ga. They have covered up a wrongful termination of a Juvenile Probation Officer, Domestic violence by a Pooler police officer, car theft, Identity Theft, sexual battery, sexual assault, animal murder, car theft. All the proper procedures were followed- IA Complaints- when I was allowed to make them, District Attorney Shara Jones ignoring it, Attorney General Chris Carr ignoring it, everyone ignoring it. So I took to Vocal and Facebook to get the word out that the community is in danger.

(White?) Nationalism at the Walmart on the 4th of July
I don't know exactly when we started doing this, but at some point in time my brother and I (both cis white males) began referring to Walmart as "the temple." We've never really discussed why we do this. Like a neglected gardening aisle in the back of a Walmart, the moniker might lose its charm if we pay too much attention. But who or what would be the Almighty in this scenario? Sam Walton? Stockholders? Money itself? The ancient Greeks and Romans had many gods.

True Crime: Held Hostage during COVID
Is society ready to come back from the trenches of a two-year COVID outbreak? How are people so comfortable going out not knowing when or if this thing is actually over? How did the government come up with a vaccine that prevents humanity from contracting the virus so quickly? So many unanswered questions but tired of sitting around waiting to see when this nightmare will be over is difficult.
