The answer found in a movie
President Obama's Oval Office statement was solid. Measured. It wasn't bad. But it wasn't the answer to the dangers of ISIS and other terrorists. What we need to do is borrow a concept from a brilliant film.
It is eerie just how spot-on the words written by the great Paddy Chayefsky nearly 40 years ago are today. Peter Finch won a Best Actor Oscar for this role. It was right in the movie and it is the right reaction to what's going on in our world today.
If enough of us were to get as mad as hell and proclaim we will not take it anymore then perhaps our elected leadership will finally take real action to stop ISIS, stop mass shootings and let us feel safe in our living rooms and everywhere else we roam in our day to day lives.
Are you as mad as hell yet? Go to that window. Shout it out at the top of your lungs. Then perhaps find a more effective way of telling the politicians that we are mad as hell!
