Also 9/11's most tangeable aftershock was what it did to Paul McCartney http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzWrIX4xEi4&feature=related Probably a worse atrocity.

Obviously it was a horrible thing, and it hit us particularly hard only because we had put ourselves in some kind of bubble, thinking that we were immune to that kind of violence. But the fact is we just totally panicked, and over the last 8 years we allowed our fear and anger to take us pretty fucking far down the road of becoming the monsters that Al Qaeda accused us of being. Hopefully we can set things right in the future and start acting like grown-ups. Well, not grown-ups perhaps. Instead, let's say "non-assholes." Now, on to the Friday fives.

I just couldn't get it right, so I deleted the whole lot. I typed a really long comment earlier in here all about my experiences visiting New York the following June.

And I don't care really - it's a discussion we can all live without having, I think. I'll write the Friday Fives and we can all forget about it and move on. Ach, I don’t know.
