We're All In This Together

Uncle Bubba has been more or less missing from action due to a tumultuous 2 years of personal challenges. After many attempts to reach him, I finally made contact and was able to catch up to what was happening with he and Sweet Pea, but honestly, he didn't speak much about the past. Instead, he jumped back into what's going on in the world around him and his opinion of it. He mused at his timing to emerge from the peace of a backcountry wood, with fake news and sexual allegations spraying rich white men in the public eye like arrows shot from an army of Amazon women that circled around the canyon walls and climbed the cliffs to ambush their enemies. What is scarier, the dangling threat of a false accusation that is tried in the court of Twitter or the trend of skipping over a fair trial? But no one with ears cares about that now, they just want to linch somebody; and so it goes.

I asked Uncle Bubba how he thought that we got here? He told me that, his opinion, we've created an online society of projected lives and trolls, where both hide their true identity and virtually behave without the watchful eye of God; like uncivil, unconscionable animals. Then, as is bound to happen, that behavior becomes so familiarly engrained in the social psyche that it manifests itself in the real world of carnality and it's tyrannical doctrine robs us of our historical, hard-fought rights and freedoms.

In Bubbie's view, we need to get a grip and get a life. There's nothing wrong with trying new things but there's also nothing wrong with sticking with what works. Let injustice be revealed and a light shine on unrighteousness. Then let the accused face their accusers and present their defense to their peers, and all stand-up and suffer the consequences; we're all in this together.
