TERRORISM is defined as “the unlawful use of violence and
intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.”
When the State legalizes killing does it become lawful
terrorism?
As women, who give and can give birth to children, it is very
painful to think that children could be drawn to acts that would give the State
the chance to kill their lives. In the case of the drug problem in our country,
the State, through Congress and the Senate, is now legalizing this form of
State terrorism in order to make the drug lords, pushers and users fearful of
the consequences of their acts.
A lot could be done to make people turn away from the drug
problem. Primary to that is to make the barangay busy with cultural activities,
not basketball games which is the most sponsored. Cultural means – theatrical –
puppetry, literary, dramatic readings, video and film art, as well as crafts.
By doing something with their hands and using their minds to create, we could
turn away the people, especially the young from nefarious activities, if only….
Today, being International Women's Day, women can work together to come up with artistic solutions to the drug problems and make the State turn away from terroristic acts which
could spawn more rebellions in the future.
