We don't have to live with it.
That ATF guy (Cavanaugh) speaking to Chris Matthews on MSNBC now said that this is the world we live in and we'll just have to live with the violence. We don't. We don't have to volunteer to be prey to the weapons industry. We just don't and we need to say that in just those terms. We don't have to tolerate divisiveness sown by corrupt politicians and we need to say that in just those words. We don't need to tolerate hate speech and misogyny, and we need to confront it in just those words every time we witness it. We don't have to live with any of these things. We can change circumstances and the character of our nation and world. We can act affirmatively and with purpose. We don't have to sit in one place to be hammered on by those who profit from fear and anger locally, nationally, or globally. This is the point of unity we must live with and insist be heard. And we need to act.
