I don’t think people ever got along. If you’re a godless evolutionist, you know that as soon as the second creature evolved into a human that an argument started over a rock or a stick or who owned this tree or that. I bet that was a hoot to watch since language hadn’t been developed past a grunt here and there. Somebody got their head smashed and just like that… we gotta wait for human number three to evolve.

If you are a God fearing person, such as myself, you understand that evolution is as crazy as thinking that you can throw a dollar on the ground and expect it to change into anything other than a weathered dollar. The only time there was any peace and quiet was in between the time God created Adam and the time Eve was created. And Adam came with language btw. By the time there were enough people to count on one hand, somebody got killed by somebody else. People don’t get along.

Then people started clumping together for safety reasons and we all know what happens when you get a bunch of people together. Some agree with each other and some don’t. People split into groups and the groups start not liking each other, so we had to add a new word to our vocabulary, war… because remember what I said… people don’t get along.

Sometime shortly after that first killing, somebody realized that you could throw things and just like that… killing advanced. Then we learned how to sharpen the end of sticks and attach a rock to a stick and once again killing got easier. I don’t know who the genius was that came up with the bow and arrow but damn, just like that, killing got way easier… and wouldn’t you have hated to have been the first guys that brought a rock to a bow and arrow fight?

I will bet my farm on two arguments once the word got out on those new bow things that were so deadly…

1. One group said,”We need to outlaw bow and arrows.”
2. The other group said,”I want one of those.”

And then some dumb-ass on CNN asked how to make a bow full semi- automatic.

So everybody had rocks, sticks that had been sharpened and clubs and bows, and this is the way we lived for thousands of years. And along the way somebody got the bright idea of wearing something on their head so their head wouldn’t get smashed in with a rock or a club, and armor was invented to stop a arrow, and it was just a very brutal world.

Well, we never learned how to get along but eventually we learned how to use gunpowder to throw a little round ball hundreds of feet into an army that was trying to throw a little round ball into us, and it took a long time to reload so we had hundreds of other people on our side and we were all throwing hundreds of little round balls at each other and boy… Killing got way easier. Now we can shoot so many bullets so fast that if we don’t pace ourselves the barrel of our weapon will warp.

We have pretty much perfected killing now and I wouldn’t be surprised if we haven’t killed more people in the last two hundred years than we killed all through history up until then… but even though we claim that we are smarter and more educated than ever before in human history… we still can’t seem to get along and we are more divided than ever before. But if I make myself less safe by letting a cold distant government force their will on me… just to keep me safe you see…

Just to keep me safe, and you know, we have to do something.

Two words that keep popping up over and over. Over and over.

I wish.

I wish that we could learn how to get along but it is still a brutal world, and if you ever think that I will ever give up my weapon of choice, you better not bring a rock to an AR-15 fight.
