(no subject)
the sun is settin on the century
and we are armed to the teeth
we are all working together now
to make our lives mercifully brief
schoolkids keep trying to teach us
what guns are all about
confuse liberty with weaponry
and watch your kids act it out
every year now like christmas
some boy gets the milkfed surburban blues
reaches for the avaliable aresenal
and saunters off to make the news
and women in the middle
are learning what poor women have always known
that the edge is closer than you think
when your men bring the guns home
-Ani DiFranco "To the Teeth"
I'm in a very Ani mood today and this quote seems really fitting. I hate when I turn on the news and I have to see that another teenager has decided that violence is an ends to a means. When are we going to step back as a country and try to figure out where we went wrong? Today in MN a kid gets a gun kills his grandparents, a teacher, a police officer and 7 students and no one has any answers? It just seems so fucked up. I feel so twisted about this kind of violence because it seems so pointless...i don't know. I'll update tomorrow when I'm feeling more interesting.
