It Doesn't Matter!

It doesn't matter what side of the political spectrum you fall into, who you vote for or whatever. The fact that EVERY TIME there is an incident, any incident - from the #GovernmentShutdown to the #CapitolShooting we become divided & blame each other. Truth is that everyone, yes everyone. Even your favorite politician is to blame.

To automatically blame a woman's menstrual cycle if it is reported somewhere that she is the culprit is #sexist. In fact automatically using any of the old "standbys" to label people because of their race, gender, political affiliation, or any of the other things we use to divide each other is wrong. Can we not jump to conclusions and work together? Just a thought.

It doesn't help that in a time when information is instant - like this blog. That a lot of times - think #NavyYardShooting reports are often construed, full of misinformation and it spreads like wildfire. Think about how you get info, who gives it to you, and take EVERYTHING from a lonely blog(i.e this) to your favorite news analyst, paper, and other sources with a grain of salt. They will all prove to have some kind of relevant information but I can almost guarantee NONE tell the full story.

I won't tell you what to do or how to think but I'm just passing on some knowledge. Something that we should all do.

I like this video also for a nice little, easy explanation.
