BWdem4life's Journal"Will you stand and watch while all the seeds of hate are sown?"
Which way are you goin'?
Which side will you be on?
Will you stand and watch while
All the seeds of hate are sown?
Will you stand with those who say,
"Let His will be done"?
One hand on the bible
One hand on the gun
One hand on the bible
One hand on the gun
Which way are you looking?
Is it hard to see?
Do you say what's wrong for him
Is not wrong for me?
You walk the streets, righteousness
But you refuse to understand
You say you love the baby
Then you crucify the man
You say you love the baby
Then you crucify the man
Everyday, things are changing,
Words once honored turned to lies
People wondering, can you blame them
It's too far to run, and too late to hide
Now you turn your back on
All the things that you used to preach
Now it's "Let him live in freedom,
If he lives like me"
Well your line has changed, confusion reigns,
What have you become?
Your olive branches turned to spears
When your flowers turned to guns
Your olive branches turned to spears
When your flowers turned to guns
Jim Croce, 1973
He knew.
I admit... I didn't (don't) like Twitter.
Part of it was/is just me being the wrong age, I think. Part of it was/is that my ipad couldn't (can't) resolve those blue "link to tweet" lines into images, forcing me to decide whether to click or not. Part of it was/is just the feeling that it was/is all a bit of a show.
But, there were (are) people to whom it is an important part of their lives. A community. Although I don't really understand it myself, I do understand community and what it is to lose one.
A billionaire should not be allowed to destroy one just because he can (and for whatever other nefarious right-wing / libertarian reasons he might have.
So, despite my own ambivalence toward Twitter, I empathize with those who are soon to be grieving their loss.
Congressional hearings will be too little, too late - but they should happen anyway.
This really is less of a laughing matter the more I look at it and think about it.
