Bill Russell, basketball legend and icon of the Civil Rights era, was arrested the other day for carrying a loaded gun at an airport. How disappointing. (What is he afraid of?)
When a man is afraid to leave his home without a gun, he sends a chilling message to his family. His son must think: If my father is afraid to leave the house without a gun, then I should be afraid - my mother should be afraid; my sister should be afraid - to leave the house without a gun.
So, what do we do now? Give everyone a gun and say, "Have a nice day?"
Fear shrinks our society by the minute. Soon, all that will be left of us is our trembling. What is left of our courage will be jammed between the pages of a history book.
