When an oscar winner Mel Gibson was stopped by the police in
Malibu and was told that he's being arrested for drunk driving, he
became infuriated and started uncontrollably swearing and
insulting the men in blue. The media quickly grabbed this news
insinuating that he has major drinking problem, but only until they
found out the most important detail. Mel has asked the deputy
sheriff if he was a Jew and with hate in his eyes said: Jews are
guilty of all the wars happening in the world! Now he is facing six
months in jail. Meanwhile Mel beggs public for forgivness and
apologizes to the Jew community, many predict that this is the
end of his acting career.
Regardless of how long we could moralize about his outburst of
deep-rooted hatred, the fact is, that our society didn't improve
one bit from the end of the second World War. Evolution is
taking place on a biologial level, but in spirit remains dualism.
Either you are Jew or Catholic, East or West, black or white,
good or bad, with us or against us. In 1963 Martin Luther King
said his infamous words to the 250 000 headed crowd: I have
a dream. That my four little children will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by
the content of their character. When he was burried five years
later, the governor of Georgia didn't allow a public funeral. This
year, in January, almost 40 years later, his wife Coretta Scott
King passed away. George W. Bush and three other
ex-presidents attended her funeral.
Skin color, religion, sex orientation - just a few worrying
factors cyclically coming forward. Yes, our society did start
to accept diversion, but it is more and more politically
inclined. Politics causes a filling of threat and is pointing it's
finger to the guilty party. We snub at the things that prevent
us from living cozily in that given moment. And only years
later we can say: Ah, Bosnia, that must have been horrible...
In the meantime we are buying guns to our children and telling
them that the one on the other side is guilty for all our trouble.
However, if you are a father of Mel Gibson you may even say
that holocaust was almost entirely made-up. Regardless of
how impure american politics is, today, more than ever, general
Peter Pace's words, spoken in front of the American Congress
are true: Love your children more than you hate each other. Even
though he was aiming at Shiites and Sunnis in Iraq, these words
can not be exclusive to them. You can not change the society if
you didn't make a man.
