Deal With It

What are we to do when madness overtakes the country?

First, it must be named.

‘insanity’ might do

President Donald Trump says the mass shooting at a Texas church is the result of a "mental health problem at the highest level."

Unless we’re just talking about pure evil, because it could be that too.

Either way, It just doesn’t help to call it something that it is not.

And try to fix something that isn’t the problem.

Dems renew calls for gun control in wake of Texas church shooting

So let’s stop winking at it,

calling it something other than what it is

and deal with it once and for all.

Is it not High Time for the People of this Country explicitly to declare, whether they will be Freemen or Slaves? It is an important Question which ought to be decided. It concerns us more than any Thing in this Life. The Salvation of our Souls is interested in the Event: For wherever Tyranny is establish’d, Immorality of every Kind comes in like a Torrent. It is in the interest of Tyrants to reduce the people to Ignorance and Vice. For they cannot live in any Country where Virtue and Knowledge prevail. The Religion and public liberty of a People are intimately connected; their Interests are interwoven, they cannot subsist separately; and therefore they rise and fall together. For this Reason, it is always observable, that those who are combined to destroy the People’s Liberties practice every Art to poison their Morals. How greatly then does it concern us, at all Events, to put a Stop to the Progress of Tyranny. Samuel Adams
