i was appalled to hear about the gang rape of a fifteen year old last week in california. We'll have to make room for one more casualty to a world gone awry.
Our world is becoming full of bullies. Bullies at school, Bullies in the workplace, Bullies in Congress. Bullies are everywhere. Hell i've even seen bullies in the checkout at the grocery store. One of us had stated in a previous blog about the end of days and how the demons will cover the earth. i too, fear that time has come.
We are not paying attention people! There is definitely a very real threat to our homeland security; and its in the form of bullies.
The internet is full of blogs by folks who've been, or are currently being bullied. We, as regular thinking, reasoning humans turn to those who're bound by their position, whether it be a guidance counselor, or the shop steward, or the HR Dept. to help us in dealing with this terror.
My son was bullied till he was eight. i went to the guidance counselor, who said, "Well, this goes on all the time. He needs to develop a thicker skin. Maybe tae kwon do would help." Four years of education to become a guidance counselor and thats all you've got? The bully, who was two years older, later that year ended up killing his own cousin while "pretend" wrestling.
i was bullied out of the theatrical union after blowing the whistle on gross malfeasance to the international, resulting in a full investigation and the local being placed in trusteeship. The local president has been brought up on Federal charges. Other "executives" (yeah right! Read; frat boys) are currently under investigation. But THEY still get work! Me? i'm out here in the cold.
And so it goes...
What i'm trying to say here is...We all know someone who, tho they be totally nice sweet, upright people..They get bullied easily. They dread going to work. They dread going to school. They dread going home. They know theres a bully waiting for em'. If you DO know someone like that, or are, or ever have been, then PLEASE; PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL A SENATOR, OR A CONGRESSMAN, OR A REPRESENTITIVE AND TELL THEM THEY HAVE TO ENACT LEGISLATION TO STOP RAMPANT SHOOL AND WORKPLACE BULLYING.
It is a violation of our human rights!
