Very well put. It is difficult to reconcile the raw, true feelings I have for the events of 9/11 with the feelings I have whenever a member of our current regime talks about 9/11, or terrorism, or anything else that they have found to link to the attacks.

I felt the same way. It’s like being marketed at, for lack of your way with words. I went about my day without watching or listening to a single thing said by news or especially political machines. I remember how I felt that day. I don’t need them to try to use those feelings to justify their ends – those ends which are unjustifiable.

You are a better, stronger woman than I–I avoided listening to any of the president’s speechifying yesterday.

You might like the song “If I Give Your Name” by Emma’s Revolution–as well as all their music. This song won the Pete Seegar award and lots of others. It is about illegal immigrant workers killed in the towers. Very powerful song. You can hear parts on Amazon–and you can listen to all of it from their website:

Wow. Over breakfast this morning, I was having exactly that conversation, minus the uplifting ending. That was exactly what I needed for some feeling of resolution. Thanks.

This, along with Twitches poems on the subject (see the Twitching Line), should be on the desk of every member of Congress, the House, the Senate, and nailed to the White House door.

Awesome Stuntmother. I couldn’t have said it better myself.
