Anniversary

[poliphilo]

I'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.

First of all I'm not just talking about America. The situation is, in this particular respect, just as bad in, say, Denmark and England, since these countries are part of the "coalition of the willing". The political rhetorics in Denmark is becoming increasingly sharp these days, and the public discourse, ah well... Not pleasant!

-And I don't want to be crowned; I just want to sit on the coucil of wise elders... :-P

Oh I know, I was just speaking from my own experience. I'm sure things aren't much better across the pond.
