poliphiloI've just looked at the date.
Oh my- 9/11!
Why wasn't I apprised of this? Why weren't the papers full of commemorative stuff?
I guess because we've moved on. We have Iraq to worry about. Katrina has changed the paradigm just as the attack on the twin towers once did.
This is a fast-moving century.
We're packing more history into the available time than we ever did before.

Date: 2005-09-11 07:56 am (UTC)I'm not an uncritical admirer of Churchill's. He was wrong about a lot of things- but wonderfully right about One Thing when it really mattered.
He had a great gift for phrase-making too.
