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.

Well, most of the time I push them to the back of my mind.

But the fact is that terrorism of the kind we're mostly talking about here- which stems from small scattered cells and not from nation states- is very hard to defend against.

True, but I refuse to live in fear in my own home. I can be cautious, aware or even suspicious but I am not afraid.
