I think our country is very burried in contradictions. In this
|
||
|
|
one I'll focus on one specific contradiction. The Constitution and Bill
|
||
|
|
of Rights prevent anyone from having cruel or unusual treatment imposed
|
||
|
|
on them by the government. They also allow the death penalty, thus
|
||
|
|
saying saying that death is not cruel or unusual. Yet, for some odd
|
||
|
|
reason, they outlaw suicide. This seems to be in conflict to me.
|
||
|
|
Seriously... think about it. I can think of many people who's lives are
|
||
|
|
cruel and unusual, not even considering those in 3rd world countries, the
|
||
|
|
homeless, or the severly ill. I think if genetics, social structure, or
|
||
|
|
even god, if you believe in one, has deemed that almost the entire
|
||
|
|
population of adolescent America be suicidal, who are we to argue?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We've seen this many times in history. Antigone, the ancient
|
||
|
|
greek tradgedy deals with the subject of Man's Law Vs. Gods' Law (The
|
||
|
|
Greeks' Gods), or fate if you will. It never ends well for the human
|
||
|
|
population. At least not those affected by the laws in question. I
|
||
|
|
pose this question to you: On a planet with over 6 billion people,
|
||
|
|
that's 6,000,000,000, and a country where supposed free will, democracy,
|
||
|
|
and personal rights prevail, do they outlaw such a humanitarian action?
|
||
|
|
Anyone that went through public school in the past few years knows what
|
||
|
|
it's like in there. That's bad enough. But if you actually show a
|
||
|
|
glimmer of talent, natural ability, or real intelligence and find the
|
||
|
|
work they give you menial, demoralizing, and aboce all spiteful to you
|
||
|
|
in general, and hence refuse to do it, they deem you a slacker and a
|
||
|
|
waste of space. Now hold up. This is a peaceful means to and end. If
|
||
|
|
one such as myself or anyone else that notices this would ever get fed
|
||
|
|
up with it, and an actual revolt took place, you'd have some of the
|
||
|
|
brightest, most intuitive teenagers, in their prime, against the rest
|
||
|
|
of America's school system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm sure anyone of prominance that suffered the same thing and
|
||
|
|
is now a grown adult would stand with us on that one. It would be the
|
||
|
|
dumb people Vs. the 'gifted' people. And I'm sorry if I sound a little
|
||
|
|
egotistical, but with no class lines, government lines, or rules, you
|
||
|
|
will lose. Period. But I stray from my topic. If you can get some
|
||
|
|
sense of what I'm talking about, and realize that that's not what I
|
||
|
|
want, then you have two choices.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1: Legalize suicide. Sure many people consider it immoral, but
|
||
|
|
obviously not the people that would use this law. Otherwise
|
||
|
|
they wouldn't use it. Plus it would be a grand release for
|
||
|
|
thsoe of us forced to go through such systems as the one
|
||
|
|
above, belittled, held back, and even disciplined for their
|
||
|
|
talents. It's much more humanitarian. To quote Kurt Vonnegut,
|
||
|
|
"None of us ever asked to be born anyway."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2: Change the school system/social structure around. Yeah, it's
|
||
|
|
a bit harder, but if the welfare of the general public is at
|
||
|
|
stake, I think we can all do a little adjusting, and maybe
|
||
|
|
even in the process, start turning out some highly intelligent
|
||
|
|
people, like we used to.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you don't like what I have to say, then you just don't get it.
|
||
|
|
If you sympathize with what I'm saying, or just want to comment either
|
||
|
|
way, e-mail me at altrocks@op.net. I'm not writing this out fo spite,
|
||
|
|
or hate, or anythign else. I just think it's about time someone said
|
||
|
|
what needs to be said, and maybe even get some attention drawn to the
|
||
|
|
subject.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And whether you agree with me or not, please, pass this along to
|
||
|
|
as many people as you can. Thank you.
