I think about the visitation of violence and death upon children in the US today and I am saddened, not for the same reasons that everyone else is saddened.

My sadness comes from the realization that in many other nations there are children being tortured and slaughtered that none pay any attention to;

The child soldier bleeding out in the jungles of Africa is forgotten, the little girls who are
mutilated by circumcision are cast aside, the children in American ghettos catching stray bullets are deemed nothing more than an statistic.

Why do you think that these kids are any more important than the countless others who die around the globe? You might think that I am jerk who is trivializing a great tragedy, you are wrong, you are the jerk because you think that because I point out the deplorable state of the world that I am somehow detracting from the tragedy of today.

The world is a sickening place in many respects, you can hide away from the truly nasty stuff, and if it takes someone pointing out that today's shooting was just another disgusting moment in the horror show that we call the human experience, then you are truly a low human being if it takes something of this magnitude to draw you out of your social networking, self centered, "progressive" life, then you might actually see the world for what it is and find some semblance of drive to perhaps create change for the better.

Then so be it, this is my cry to the ignorant masses. You either wake up or give up.

This species makes me sick, I am tired of what we have become

A female circumcision is the removal of the clitoral hood.

But some cut off the clitoris and inner and outer labia.
Disgusting mutilation.

measured by how we've industrialized killing each other to a point to where we can kill hundreds of thousands with one bomb. we're at an unprecedented point in history where military supremacy poses an existential threat to all of humanity. you say that "the truth is out there if we only look" while you make these claims that aren't even generally based in the real.
