Better Than Guns

So we've had a few mass shootings lately.

I guess it has something to do with our nature. Sometimes it's a powerful feeling to hold a thing in our hands and have everybody paying attention. Especially when we think we've not been noticed maybe. Or whatever reason.

When I was a kid they used to have cartoons where old school gangsters would suddenly produce a gun from a violin case. They don't have cartoons like that anymore. Not so much a "today" kind of thing.

But I was thinking, imagine if the gangster suddenly whipped out an actual violin? And started to play it? I'd pay attention. Music is better than gun fire. Humans should simply swap all of their weapons for musical instruments. Instead of fussing over bank notes we should fuss over musical notes!

As John Lennon once sang "Imagine all the people, living life in tuuuune".

He didn't really sing that.

It's a cool idea though. Even the humans couldn't mess that one up, could they?

Just think what it would be like ........
