lay down your weapons

On November 16th, just more than a month ago, 357 people had been murdered this past year in Philly. Today, more than 400. That's 43+. FORTY-THREE PLUS people in little more than 30 days. That's a whole fucking lot of pain for a lot of people. I don't care if many were drug dealers or users or involved in the drug trade, they were people (young young young people) who at one point loved or was loved. That's a lot of wasted lives and possibilities that we squandered long before they died.

I wish we would get our environmental act together so that this fantastic tootums and his kids and their kids will experience summer, fall, winter, and spring in the way it was intended: with heat waves and ice storms and blizzards and frozen lakes and clean rain showers and blizzards and snow and more snow and then snow and did I say blizzards and swimming holes full of water and fish to swim between his toes and then some snow and an ocean that's safe to swim.

C'mon winter! We're waiting for you...Don't let global warming and corporate greed and lazy ASSES in their purposeless SUVs get you down.
