Keep Your Eyes and Ears Open
In the last couple of weeks I've been really exposed to a lot of 9/11 horror stories. They are stories of pain, heartbreak and attempting to move forward in the face of unbelievable grief.
In the time since 9/11, I have learned that it isn't easy. It is the furthest thing from easy that we have in this world.
I just switched the channel from Breaking News of a new terror threat to a rerun of the Mary Tyler Moore Show.
I'd much rather deal with Ted Baxter. This is the one where they bet him he can't get through an entire newscast without screwing something up. He makes it to the sign-off and then says...this is Bed Taxter reporting...I saw this show about thirty years ago, and I was waiting for the line. Isn't it funny what the mind stores?
And it stored a lot from that day ten years ago.
It stored enough to know that I never want to feel such feelings again.
The threat mentioned this evening deals with New York and Washington.
Democrat, Republican or Tea Party...we all need to root for America here.
May the threats be thwarted. May the Americans be on watch. May the terrorists be stopped. We can't wish it away. They want to hurt us. We need to be vigilant.
One of the suspected terrorists is supposedly an American.
WTF happened here?
The country seems weary to me. From the hurricanes to the earthquakes to the weekly gun play that just cost a bunch of innocent people their lives in Nevada.
But this reformed bleeding heart liberal says that we need to fight for what is ours. Stop fighting each other. Stop gunning down other Americans. How about we become united in these here states?
We need to make sure that we are not holding memorials ten years from now.
Keep your eyes and ears open...wherever you live in this great land.
