Re: Blah

I think that the discomfort I feel about the 9/11 stories are not because I want people to get over it. I don't think we really get over that kind of trauma, only get numbed to it. But I know that is not what you meant. I guess that I feel pissed off that the memory of that tragedy has become so tainted by the "war on terror" and massive cultural division that followed. I want to go back to that time when,as a New Yorker I know said, "we didn't feel like assholes". That brief, scary, unifying period before tragedy got exploited, and people were still trying to put words to their shock and grief.
