The US is so polarized now that I wonder if there is a way to bring everyone back together. Alex is dead on in that we as a nation were bonded for quite some time directly after 9/11. Not only that, but we were one with the majority of the world. It’s a shame that a few bad decisions at the top let that all fall apart. In the end, we have less freedom than we did on 9/10/01, a rift between ourselves that may be almost unmendable and a staggering debt from the perpetual war we were sold on. I would have to think Bin Laden, if still alive, is pretty pleased with himself.

It’s so ludicrous now that I have dealt with people at work that are starting to stockpile guns because they think “the shit is about to hit the fan”. I haven’t figured out if they think we are on the verge of some form of civil war, but it’s appalling to see reasonably intelligent people buy in to some of the drivel being sold by the political talking heads. It’s just unbelievable how much hate mongering there is within our own borders. And all of this in some form or another crawled out of the aftermath of 9/11.

And I remember watching the Challenger explode on live TV, although I wasn’t around yet for JFK’s assassination.
