I'M RUNNING OUT OF FAITH

• EVERYONE SEEMS TO LIKE GUNS. I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. MEN USUALLY WANT A BIGGER ONE. AS FOR WOMEN, I GUESS THE JUST WANT ONE. AT ANY RATE, IT'S A REALLY BAD IDEA. ONE OF THE WORST IDEAS WE HAVE HAD. WE WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS FOOLS, THINKING GUNS COULD KEEP US SAFE.
• FEAR IS A FUNNY THING. MAKES PEOPLE DO FUNNY THINGS: BUILD WALLS; STOCKPILE GUNS; DENY PEOPLE THEIR RIGHTS; THROW IMMIGRANTS OUT OF THE COUNTRY; TAKE THEIR CHILDREN AWAY FROM THEM; DETAIN PEOPLE FOR YEARS WITHOUT A TRIAL; SHOOT PEOPLE UNARMED IN A VAIN ATTEMPT TO SAY WE ARE PROTECTING YOU. I WOULD SUGGEST GOING TO A WOODED AREA AND WALKING A PATH AT NIGHT. YOU WILL EITHER DIE FROM FRIGHT, OR GET OVER IT. EITHER WAY, YOU'LL BE DOING YOURSELF A FAVOR. AND PROBABLY THE REST OF US.
• A FAIRLY LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE SUPPORT TRUMP. I THINK I LIVE WITH ABOUT HALF OF THEM. RICH, WHITE, PRIVILEGED PEOPLE. ANYONE HELPING THEM GET RICHER AND WHITER IS TO BE PRAISED. MOST ARE EDUCATED AND HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR CAREERS. THIS IS A SERIOUS STRIKE AGAINST EDUCATION AND SUCCESS. IF SOMEONE PROMISES TO KEEP THEM PRIVILEGED, THEY ARE ALL IN. 
• HUMANS WANT EASY OUTS. DRUGS ARE ONE SUCH AVENUE. ON THE SURFACE, THEY MAKE US FEEL BETTER ABOUT OURSELVES AND LESSEN THE PAIN OF GROWING OLDER AND HAVING TO FACE IMPENDING DEATH. CONSEQUENTLY, PAIN MEDICATIONS, (OPIOID), HAVE INVADED OUR LIVES. ALCOHOL, METH, CRACK, ALL DRUGS THAT PROMISE US RELIEF, BUT STEAL OUR SOULS. ALL CAN LEAD TO ADDICTION. 
• AS YOU CAN TELL, I'M RUNNING OUT OF FAITH. BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TELL.
