Harsh Necessity. Bill Cosby and Alvin Poussaint were on Oprah today, to promote their book, Come On People (sic: there should be a comma between "On" and "People"). They talked about the grave problems much of the black community suffers as a consequence of the physical and psychological absence of men from the black family. There were horror stories of murders and drug tragedies, of lives lost and opportunities lost, as appalling numbers of young black males, deprived of strong and righteous male role models, throw their lives away in drugs and crime. Poussaint reported that over 50% of black males in many urban school districts drop out before finishing high school. In some districts it is over 70%.
+
Such kids don't want the jobs they know they can't get without at very least a high-school education. They want to run around like perpetual infants, to live the flashy, vapid life of drug pushers and pimps, and don't care about the high mortality rate of that kind of lifestyle.
+
They become biological fathers but refuse to be psychological fathers. They just spread their seed and move on, leaving the parenting to the foolish young women whose lusts and emotional needs lead them to become mothers long before they are even remotely ready for the responsibilities.
+
Everywhere in the story lurk drugs. The 'lesson' that viewers were expected to take away is that a strong male role model in the home can make a crucial difference in the lives of their children, especially boys. But that's not the basic lesson to be learned. The real lesson is that we have a drug problem in this country that is destroying our civilization, and we're doing absolutely nothing about it that stands even the tiniest chance of success.
+
Comedians still make drug jokes, as tho drugs are funny, harmless. Don't count the dead from drug use: the overdoses, the AIDS, the drive-by shootings as drug pushers fite over 'turf' and innocents, including tiny children, get killed by stray bullets from moving cars, or in the crossfire between rival drug pushers fiting it out on the streets. Forget about the thousands of square miles of urban terrain rendered unsafe at any hour by the ravages of drugs. Drug education, or strong parenting, or a renewed moral sense can fix all that. Bullsh*t.
+
The ugly fact is that we have a national drug problem because we WANT a national drug problem, because we PREFER to keep a national drug problem than to cure it. Because the absolute only way to end it is mass executions. The only way.
+
We have made a deliberate, if unconscious choice: we prefer to have our society ravaged, and large parts of nearly every major city almost completely destroyed as places people can live good lives, over accepting that the only way to end the drug plague is to kill the pushers who are causing all these problems. That is a damned stupid choice.
+
If we kill 20,000 drug dealers in one year, we will be able to reclaim perhaps 80% of areas now lost to civilization, immediately, and perhaps 90%. If we kill another 20,000 drug pushers next year, so that people understand this was not a one-time deal, and things can go back to "normal" — unrestricted drug trafficking — thereafter, we will be able to reclaim approximately 99% of all parts of this country from the human devastation, crime, and violence that now plague us. It doesn't matter whether it's white trash on meth or black trash on heroin, all parts of society would be saved by a fierce crackdown and mass executions of drug traffickers.
+
But we wouldn't want to do that. That would pretty much end crime as a significant public problem, and we can't have that. What would politicians run on? What would we watch on television? What would replace all those CSI programs and crime dramas? What would local news talk about? Crime is at the very heart of the popular culture of recent decades — the very darkest, vilest heart of our deformed and demented popular culture. How would the rest of the world view us if we didn't churn out hundreds of hyperviolent crime films and TV shows each year?
+
Without drug-driven crime, we'd be a G-rated society, in every locality. How boring is that?! We need dangerous, we need seedy and disgusting. There's something exhilarating about walking the street at nite and actually making it home alive. We need that excitement. Surely we don't want to be as boring as Singapore, which has draconian drug laws and almost no crime. We want danger. We need it. Being perpetually at the edge of death makes us appreciate life! Bullsh*t.
+
If we chop up evil drug-pushing scumbags for parts for decent people, we will simultaneously save tens of thousands of lives that are actually worth saving, since the very fewest people to be saved by each physically healthy drug pusher is six, and probably seven: 1 heart, 2 lungs, 3 lobes of the liver, 2 kidneys could be distributed to seven or eight different people, tho joint heart-lung transplants might reduce that number to six. Still, saving six decent people by killing one subhuman piece of sh*t is a very, very good bargain. Even moreso if the death of the one scares 10 others away from a life of crime. Win-win. The only loser is already a loser, and thus no loss at all to society.
+
At end, the "human" being is only an animal, and can be controlled only by fear. Pain controls us, fear of death controls us. Almost nothing else controls some of us in any measure. Prison? A paper tiger, a vacation with three squares a day and no bills to pay.
+
From time immemorial, priests have tried to put the fear of God(s) into the people they seek to control. But the God of the Christians is a loving and forgiving God, so you can do terrible things, kill dozens of people, and then "find God" in prison, "repent your evil ways", and be forgiven long before Judgment Day. Nobody believes in fire and brimstone cast down from the skies by a vengeful God. God is a wuss that any good conman can con.
+
The State? That's quite another story. The priest/ess of old could toss virgins into the volcano because religion had that kind of temporal power. Not so here and now. The State (be it called a "state" or the Federal Government) imposes punishments in the real world, and the State is a sissy. Hideous torture-murders are punished, at worst, by gentle lethal injections — and even that is being challenged as "cruel and unusual punishment". The Supreme Court might actually rule that putting depressants into a monster's vein is a 'crime against humanity', and make it nearly impossible for us to kill the killers — if we let it. Of course, the Supreme Court in its present configuration might not do that. But our safety as a society must not depend on the then-current configuration of any court. We have the right to make laws that no judge can void, and the Constitution provides that Congress can declare within an act of legislation that no court can void it. States may also now have or might well enact comparable measures for their own constitutions.
+
Whatever must be done to save our civilization, must be done. Cosby on Oprah offered the pithy observation, which Oprah liked, that "Hurt people, hurt people." Cos disowned coining it but didn't say who did coin it. And just as "Hurt people, hurt people" is true, so is "Whatever must be done, must be done", to save our civilization. If that means killing tens of thousands of drug pushers — and it does — that is a tiny, inconsequential price to pay. We have killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and spent $500 bilyan to do it, supposedly to save our civilization from destruction, even tho Iraq never attacked us. Criminals attack us every day, kill thousands of us, here at home, in a year, and cost us hundreds of billions of dollars we could save by ending crime. When the organs we could harvest from executed criminals are figured into the bargain, society stands to make a very tidy profit on the deal.
+
P.S. Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly admitted tonite that (approximate quote),

If we had a magical time machine and could go back, I wish we had never gone in[to Iraq]".

Better very, very, very, very late than never, I suppose. I opposed the invasion long before it happened and knew that it was most unlikely that Saddam Hussein either had Weapons of Mass Destruction or entertained thoughts of launching attacks upon the United States. But nobody pays attention to me. I'm not rich and famous. I'm just always rite.
