Yeah, I’m Not Buying It

My response to Has America Become Immune to Mass Shootings?

My only explanation is that we must have become a country that has become immune to such tragedies. If not, wouldn’t we be talking about it more? Wouldn’t we be more outraged?

Ms. Lee, I hate to break it to you but we are all outraged out. We’ve got nothing left.

And that’s just off the top of my head. I’m sure I’ve left a lot out. Oh yeah!

No toilet paper, empty shelves, every job an “essential job”, wet wipes, hand sanitizer, no paper money, plastic only, gloves, no gloves, shield, no shield, carry out, delivered, Amazon bad, Amazon good, Walmart bad, Walmart good, price gouging, crying seniors hungry and scared

I wonder if I have another stream of thought coming around the bend again soon. We shall see. Anywho…

So yes, my dear Ms. Lee. We are all out of fucks to give. Not that we don’t care because we do. We just have nothing left to give because, oh yeah!

Portland, Chicago, murder, killings, BLM, all lives matter, Thin Blue Line, marches, riots, protests, demonstrations, all in the name of justice. No Asians are being attacked just for being Asian. D.C., Capitol Hill, take over, by any means necessary, Proud Boys

Where was I?

Oh yes. Right. We are all mostly (because let’s face there’s always that small percentage that’s trying their damndest to drag us back to the Stone Age and simply will not be happy until we’re all dragging our knuckles again), all doing our very best. Some people’s best is more than others, but still. Everyone is doing the best they can with what they have to work with.

So relax, okay? The American of post 9/11 is still here. It may be hard to find right now, but we’re still here.

At least I hope so.
