As BD puts it, “Nicely done.”
It did give me pause to think about my own 9-11 thoughts. But I find what I remember and take from that day is not FEAR that the BAD GUYS ARE ALL COMING TO GET US!! AND OUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN, TOO! Yeah, there are bad guys out there, but … what 9-11 showed me is how we, as a nation, could be united in response to a tragedy — heck, how we could be united with the world.
9-11 should not be about us being afraid. It should be about us striving to do better. Yes, we need to defend ourselves — but we need to be doing so much more than that, if we’re to be true to our principles.
It’s one thing to never forget. It’s quite another to obsess.
