Thanksgiving and Turkey Day

10/24/2021

0 Comments

 
Thanksgiving is one of the most popular feasts in America. On the eve of that holiday, some students have extra break; they do not go school. On the highways, there is a traffic jam; it looks like all vehicles are in the streets at the same time. The airport is crowded: passengers are travelling from one state to another in order to meet their friends and family.

In the stores, customers need to be patient; they must wait for a long time in line to purchase their items. On the very day of thanksgiving, things look different. Many stores are closed to allow their employees to celebrate with their family. Only hospitals and some facilities remain opened.

​The streets are almost empty. Some churches and some philanthropic organizations are feeding the homeless in the street or the shelters. Thanksgiving is an opportunity for many people to offer to their beloved friends a seasonal card on which they mention what they are thankful for. Nobody wants to miss this moment.


            Thanksgiving is a moment of joy and happiness for US citizens, but it is the worst moment of the year for turkeys. If they had the chance to be a dog just for one week, they would not hesitate: millions of them lose their life and end their journey on earth in our stomach. Survivals have no tears to cry; they have no voice to mourn members of their family who were murdered.

Can you imagine a thanksgiving without turkey?  Is there any substitute for turkey? If I were a “Turkey-Senator”, I would fight and pass a law prohibiting the killing of turkey during thanksgiving because they also deserve to be joyful on that holiday just like anyone.

The Face of the 3rd World War

10/24/2021

Peace has no price. The world suffered so far from two worldwide wars. Each of them killed millions of people. Millions of people became disabled or widows. Millions of children became orphans. Survivors were traumatized. Countries directly involved in those wars found their economy completely damaged; countries that were not involved and that had the capacity to finance those wars became strangely rich.

After those two wars, many countries decided to avoid such a horrible situation in the future. They put in place a peaceful organization called the United Nations (UN). Its role is controversial. How can we explain the fact that some countries destroyed others under the watch of UN?  Nowadays, a “powerful country” can lie, manipulate media, or go to UN to obtain the vote that allows him to attack another country. A “powerful country” can decide openly to invade and even annex another country; what is happening in Ukraine is an illustration.  Is the UN partial or powerless?

The earth is becoming one of the most dangerous planets for the human being, and we all know that we cannot live in the moon. Politics and the “national interest” make people selfish and so wicked that they do not care about others. The cold war is born again.  The arms race is scary. Many countries desire to acquire a nuclear weapon. Countries already equipped with that “big killer” are using different reasons to prevent others from having it.

Is the third global war possible? The answer should be yes, based upon the level of injustice that prevails in the world. The answer should be yes because the said, “Powerful countries” are so arrogant that they believe they have the right to do whatever they want. They overuse their power. What will happen if that war starts today? Any country with a nuclear weapon can transform the whole world into ashes in a matter of seconds. The third global war will be synonym to havoc. Animals and human beings will be wiped out on the earth. Nobody will survive. The said, “Powerful countries” will be powerless because they have no way to counter the attack of a nuclear weapon.

Realistically, the third worldwide war is a possibility. It can be prevented if “powerful countries” stop playing with fire. In addition, the UN should be fair. It should stop being the umbrella of some countries. Those countries use it to fulfill their personal goals. If it can no longer be a neutral organization, it should be substituted by another organization representing the voice of all nations all over the world, and able to safeguard the peace.

Let's Control Guns Before Guns Control Us

10/24/2021

When someone kills people with a gun, what seems strange is that we first check his nationality or his religion. If that person is not born in America, we rush to a conclusion that immigrants are dangerous because they are terrorists.

But when the shooter is born and raised in America, his action is not considered as terrorism; we easily find a way to say that he killed because he had a mental issue. Such an analysis blinds us and prevents us from seeing the root of the problem. The real root of the problem is that the gun business is a very prosperous business in USA and owners of that business are so powerful that they will block any legislation controlling weapons.

It is scary to mention how many people die in America from gunshot every year. The danger is everywhere: in school, in the malls, in the stadiums, in the train… even at home. No action is taken to reduce or stop the evil. Should we wait for someone to kill the whole city to understand that the issue is serious?

It is unfortunate to note that Americans suffers more from domestic terrorism than from outside terrorism. What is becoming more and more worrying is that innocent students are increasingly losing their lives. How will you feel if you were the mother or the father of one of the students who went to school healthy, but could not return home because someone shot them?

If leaders are serious about the protection of citizens, they should put politics aside and come up with a legislation that puts guns under control. We all agree that the gun itself cannot kill but it easily falls in the hands of wrong people. A gun in the hands of challenged people will always lead to havoc.
