For my own sanity, I'm placing a ban on all televisoin viewing and radio listening for the next twenty-three hours. Take a look at the date stamp of this entry and you'll understand why. I'd just as soon remember what happened two years ago on my own; I don't need to be bombarded with harsh visual reminders and dramatic music on every other channel. To be brutally honest, these inexplicable events happen every day, in every country, to the Nth degree… just “never” in our own backyard. I'm an American, but I'm also smart enough to know that we don't corner the market on innocent civilian deaths (and to claim otherwise is woefully arrogant and inaccurate). Maybe one day everybody will start thinking about human beings… instead of making human beens.
