The horror of the events of 9/11 will stay with us beyond our lifetimes. Strangely enough, that day and its events have brought to my mind memories widely separated by time and approach, but at the same time connected by violence.
The most recent, of course, is the annihilation of numerous buildings and thousands of lives on 9/11. Our great president Bush, apparently having been forewarned of such a catastrophe, declined to act upon it. Nevertheless, he now takes credit for saving this country from further attack. He is the only president I am aware of who has taken credit and is credited by fathful followers with having saved us from an UNKNOWN SOMETHING THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED.
The second thought, unrelated except by horror, is of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. How many people even know those names? Do we observe a Day of Remorse in this country?

Hi little Bill you are a good one! 9/11 was necessary to get these wars going. They are still just taking shape! I feel for the millions Bush has displaced and killed in the name of "peace" and the millions to come. Take care little Bill!
Hi little Bill
Just checking in hope all is well!
I can always count on you, dear friend AV Pat.
I'm getting slower every day, and the world and national situations are enough to make me glad I'm 85. How can it keep on getting worse?!
I have many notes to turn into blogs and will try to get to some of them soon.
Why is it that the cost of Bush's War isn't counted in with the rest of our national debt? No one mentions it, just greedy bankers and investors, and the people who sold houses to people who couldn't afford them.
It's going to have to get a little worse, Lil'Bill, until it gets much better. BusheneyMcChaos are on their way out. We - the two of us - have to make an agreement that WE are gong to hang in here until we see their sorry and bony little asses disappear in the twilight. You, too, Patriot!
Little Bill
Yes you can! You relax and take it easy. Talk later!
