IS THAT A GUN IN YOUR POCKET, OR ARE YOU HAPPY TO SEE ME?
I’VE always felt reasonably safe and secure pretty much everywhere I’ve travelled within the USA (avoiding big cities). At least until recently. I’m not feeling so safe and secure these days with the increasingly lax gun laws, especially those that allow carrying a concealed weapon. Having grown up in Alaska when it was still a young, wild territory, I wasn’t unaccustomed to seeing people in town “carryin’,” even having witnessed a shootout once. Strangely, knowing that people with weapons displayed them in public made it relatively easy to avoid such folk. But when concealed. Not so.
Isn’t that true, however, of most dangerous things or events? Unconcealed, they offer a clear and present danger, with the choice of accepting such or not. Concealed, they not only offer no choice, but increase the risk; namely, surrounding why one has to conceal something dangerous from others in the first place.
Take groceries, for example. Why doesn’t grocery store food come with a disclosure as to what chemicals were used when growing them? And what about GMO? I could offer more and more examples of how having clear and correct information allows people to make choices, and thereby support a “real” supply and demand market, be it food, transportation, health care or Wall Street. Disclosure is what fuels democracy and a healthy market. Concealment discourages democracy and informed choice, eroding democracy and a healthy market. Hey, just my opin.
But now’s time for me to disclose that my newest Amazon-genre-bestseller THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor will prove one of the most provocative novels of our time. Available in printed, digital (Kindle/Google/iTunes) and audiobook format (read by Peter Pollock rather than a computer).
