Guns Guns and Guns?
#1 Gun Control
People seem to be getting shot a lot. One day I heard Chris Rock say: "Guns should be easily avalible, but those damn bullets should cost a fortune!". WOW! What a great concept!
You make ammo hard to obtain and you, quite possibly, could cut down on gun crimes. Now THIS is something I want feedback from, especially from gun enthusiasts!!!
Moving on!
#2 Information
Information is passed out daily about all sorts of things. Being Green, AIDS, various diseases, the dangers of your daily actions, but really... Who the f**k gives a damn?
If you have a woman who's uneducated about HIV, and a woman who is. You make the educated one take an HIV test, and the results come back negative... After the test what happens? NOTHING!!!!! Nothing changes!!! She doesn't stop having unprotected sex, she doesn't make an effort to make sure her peers are aware of the situation at hand.
But, lets say her results came back as HIV positive. Then what do think she's going to do, eh? She's going to have everyone know. But, go back to the first scenario. She wasn't positive, so she continued to not give a damn.
The point I'm trying to make here is that information is powerless. I could tell a chronic smoker how dangerous their smoking is all day, and they still wouldn't give a damn. Info is great! It helps you know more about things, provided you don't discard it as soon as you get it.
Honestly, isn't there something more that can be done?
I'd hate to say forcing people to do things is the only way to get them to learn. But, its been proven again, and again, and again.
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
