They All Matter
Black Lives Matter.
Blue Lives Matter.
Gay Lives Matter Transgender Live Matter.
Been hearing an awful lot of chatter about what life matters the most lately and it is sort of mind-boggling to me.
In fact, it sorta' seems to me that when one group or another starts talking about which lives matter...
...they're kinda' implying that some lives don't matter quite as much.
I've grown weary with the discussion.
Tarantino is in trouble for speaking out against what he perceives as murders carried out by cops. (He didn't say all cops are murderers, by the way).
Black people are in trouble for speaking out against the blue because they don't think that enough people care about the black.
For God's sake, people!
We all know that lives are precious...
...or we should.
But you know what the problem is?
It's not true.
Lives don't seem to matter to some people.
Like it or not there have been disposable type people living all over the city that you live in.
Think about it.
Inner-city murders are relegated to the back pages. I once spoke with a police officer who said:
"We know where the crime is happening. We try and stay away."
We count the murders.
We kind of cheer when there aren't too many in any given month.
And as for the recent bashing of all cops everywhere?
I hate that as well.
I can't even imagine what it would take to do that job on a routine basis.
How can you not fear for your life every single time you pull the car out of the lot?
Guns are everywhere.
Gun laws won't protect a police officer from the criminals who have no respect for laws of any kind...or life in general.
Black Lives Matter.
Blue Lives Matter.
Gay Lives Matter Transgender Live Matter.
All of life matters.
Every creation has a purpose.
To disregard another's life...
...hard to even fathom.
