Out of the Blue
[Sep 10, 2002, 06:50 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments

Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. So much has changed in the ensuing time it is quite staggering to consider... I'm not really sure how this would apply to those living outside the U.S., but it's really hard to imagine any amount of time doing anything to diminish the impact of 9/11 here. Anyway, nothing I'm going to say here can do the gravity of all this justice or put it into any sort of perspective, so having said this now, I'm pretty sure I'll just forego an Out of the Blue ramble for tomorrow. Here's to the sincere hope that the ever-rising global tensions that have surrounded this event start to ease soon so we can avoid further tragedies.

Play Time:	Drive Me Insane! Thanks Jack Scagnetti. Apparently another better late than never dealie.
Story of the Day:	Hawk gets stuck on Wing. Thanks TigeRyan, first of about a hundred to mail this one in, hence the posting of something already labeled "offbeat news."
Image of the Day:	APOD 2002 September 9 - Hoags Object A Strange Ring Galaxy. Thanks Zdim.
Auctions of the Day:	World's Largest Classic Software Collection! Thanks Sean. Own Kurt Cobain's House, His Childhood Home! Thanks offset. DUAL XEON 2.4GHz, Board. Thanks Rob. Sent in several times previously, but this is the first time the images (which are the whole point) worked for me.

Big deal, 3.5 thousand people died

Now, I know you don't really feel that way (and was the final count that high?). I do, however, understand where you're coming from. Tragic event or otherwise, the way the news media keeps squeezing the event for all the emotial response they can get from it gets pretty tiring after a year.

Yes, it was a terible event, I'm not going to argue that, but eventually you have to stop sitting around and thinking about how sad it is and get over it. I know this post is going to sound a lot more callous than I mean it to, it's a hard viewpoint to express, but I really do get tired of the sappy, falsely patriotic mindset that every picked up starting last Sept 13th.
