Ridin' with Biden

Now that the Democratic "Convention" is over, things are coming into my mind that need to be addressed.  The common theme or the one point of activism has been "Black Lives Matter."  This is not the only talking point in American politics.  Certainly it and the Covid 19 outbreak are relevant.  Corruption in America's police force is nothing new, but the senseless murdering of black men is an atrocity which needs to be addressed.  It is not the only dire issue of our time.  One only needs to think back a few years, and easily another seemingly forgotten issue may be more dire.  I did not hear it mentioned at the Democratic Convention.  Our memories today are short.  The issue of mass shootings in America, a phenomenon unique only to our great country, should be more pressing.  What could cause American youth to arm themselves and commit genocide against their own citizens?  Is it they do not like America?  Is it they are mentally ill?  Have they been brainwashed?  Are they victims of cultists?  Are they domestic terrorists?  A racist and murderous police force is dire, but our children killing senselessly may be more dire.  It is more dire, because we do not know why.  We do not know why American youth are so deranged that they need to kill innocent Americans and often themselves.  While this issue may pale in comparison to a worldwide pandemic that has killed thousands, in my mind it is the most important issue of American life.  How can we continue to live in a nation which fosters such unexplained violence?  In all likelihood drugs may be a part.  America always has had a drug problem, and this issue also was not present at the Democratic Convention.  It would seem our generation in all of its naivete seems to think we are the only people who have lived on this earth.  The problems which have beset man from his inception still are the same, which Covid 19 has proven.  If we are to perish on this earth it will be from issues related to extreme heat and humidity.  Not unlike a Stephen King novel, an awful green fungus may proliferate and envelope the world.  It all ready has begun.  Every article I read in Wikipedia on medication begins with fungal infection are on the rise and are becoming immune to traditional medications.  I don't think this is true.  I think pharmaceutical companies are weakening their medicines on purpose.  Herbal supplements not regulated by any agency can well you baking soda in a capsule and call it anything they want.  Believe me they do.  Cannabis oil often is nothing more than a fake.  Getting to the root of mental illness in America should be the focus of our time.  Our media is so selective upon which the things it reports.  Mysteriously global terrorism, ISIS, Afghanistan, Iraq, and all have taken a backseat to plague.  It would be wise to keep a keen eye on what is happening in the Middle East and with the United States military.  If Donald Trump is capable of stealing from everyone, he is capable as the Commander and Chief to direct our armed forces into the wrong task.  We have no idea what they are doing with an 800 billion dollar budget.  I would like to know.  It would seem we are shit on our own in America, but Biden is trying to change that.
