walbournThis week is total "9/11" overload. It's like Giuliani running for the presidental nomination... There's been retrospectives on every form of media all week. I watched the NOVA on Rebuilding Ground Zero, listened to some of the NPR stories, read a few editorials, etc. I half expected to see the Food Network run a special on how our taste in cheese has changed since 9/11...
August 16th, 2011 marked my tenth year in Seattle. I can say I'm in a much better place than I was at the 5 year anniversary.
Best wishes to all the families still living with the loss of that day. I hope the memorial opening is seen as a fitting tribute. I hope nobody dies a violent death today in Iraq or Afghanistan (although the chances of that seem pretty low). If Cheney or some other Bush administration person claims the Iraq war was 'worth it', they are free to FOAD. I'm glad Bin Laden is not around to record more of his crazy, fundamentalist bullshit. I wish the Religious Right in America would take the time to reflect on the fact that it's the "Fundamentalist" part not the "Muslim" part that was the seed of all this pain.
I think I'm done. So I think it is best if I just avoid Facebook and all forms of "live" media for the rest of the day. I will spend it instead putting together a raised bed in the yard, playing games with friends, and enjoying time with DrB and Professor X.
