- Brutality.
- ----------
-
- What is one of the most accepted things in this country? Hint, look
- at the title. Brutality. It is there everytime we hit the remote to start
- up the TV, it covers the papers front to back, and it pervades the music that
- we listen to. America has come to accept brutality as a kind of "white noise"
- in the background of our lives.
- Turn on the TV sometime. I gaurentee that at some point while you
- watch, you will see a murder, a fight, or something alluding to violence of
- some type. The average child sees something like 15,000 murders on TV before
- he reaches adolescence. By that time, no one can see death for the horror that
- it holds, because it is just another episode of some show. Even the news on
- the major networks gives more time to violence and destruction than to people
- helping each other or something other than death or pain. If someone is shot,
- and he is comforted in his dying moments by a passerby who tries to help just
- out of the goodness of his heart guess who gets more air time? Right, either
- the shooting victim, or the guys who shot him. It doesn't matter that someone
- cared enough about a complete stranger to try to help him, all that matters is
- that someone was killed violently. There is an old news motto that goes like
- this "If it bleeds, it leads". That seems to indicate something about our
- society as a whole.
- Newspapers aren't safe either. Same thing applies there. Good decent
- people on the back page, blood and death and the things that kept our primitive
- ancestors awake at night on the front. Magazines? Hah, compare how many deal
- with how to be a productive member of society, or how to help people, and then
- see how many are built around guns, horror movies, death, and pain. A lot less
- deal with the good side of humanity. The print media has fallen to the ghouls
- that we all are inside.
- Check out music. Look at the bands and singers that make the money and
- hit the big time. Heavy Metal has been analysed to death, so I'll skip over
- that. Look at Country and Western music. That has a long tradtion of death
- and violence that everyone seems to overlook. Garth Brooks chart buster
- "The Thunder Rolls", was about wife abuse and a wife killing her husband who
- was about to start hitting their daughter.
- Everyone has a little of these demons inside, but hey, this is going
- overboard. Brutality is now a common way of life, and an accepted fact of the
- world in general, and I think that that says a lot about who we are as a
- species. I guess the evolutionists are right. That ape in the closet of your
- "evolved" mind is just a little closer to the doorknob than anyone likes to
- think.
- So try not to let the ape out so often. Avoid some of that mass
- produced, violent mind-candy that they have on TV. If you don't, someone
- should beat the shit out of you.
