The Same Goddamn Thing
Dave in Texas, on the occasions of December 7, 1941, and 9/11:
Sixty six years ago today we were reeling. And facing the awful reality that at that time, an unknown number of us had perished in a calculated, planned attack. One that intended to kill as many as they possibly could. It took weeks to count the dead. More were dying while we counted.
Six years ago we were reeling. We had by now counted the dead.
It's not different. It's the same goddamn thing.
