I have been watching/listening to the “tube” today… here we are one week later since those 17 students were shot/murdered in FL. The news showed students protesting at Tallahassee, FL and the White House and numerous other places… shouting #NEVERAGAIN… unlike the two groups of handicapped/disabled people that protested on the hill a number of weeks ago… no news coverage of any of these students being drug away and arrested. Does that suggest how the handicapped are viewed by those in Congress and those working “on the hill” ?
During a one week period of time… abt 1000 people will commit SUICIDE – including abt 140 veterans and abt 19K will ATTEMPT SUICIDE… in our country… no wall to wall media coverage ?
Here is upcoming House committee meeting House Republicans Plan Legislative Hearings As First Step to Fight Opioid Crisis
and their agenda is Congress to draft legislation to focus on law enforcement, insurance coverage issues and public health and prevention programs
As I read it… it is about insurance paying for addiction treatment, preventing mental health and filling up the jails… having worked in out pt mental health facilities – running the in house pharmacy – I am really interested in how they are going to “cure mental health issues”
How many times have you heard the statement “so no one/family should have to experience this (tragedy )… NEVER AGAIN should this be allowed to happen to anyone.
None of us are perfect, which strongly suggests that our world and the various societies within our world, will never be perfect…. and attempt to turn us into a “perfect world” is a fool’s agenda
