kniteracyI Remember Townsend...
I wasn't planning on writing anything about the terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001, and I certainly wasn't planning on writing anything about the various memorials, films, documentaries, docudramas, or whatever you want to call the continual conversation about those events and the steps they influenced the United States to take.
If you only read one article about those events, read the LJ post I linked to above.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bradhicks had a nice discussion of the day and the memorials and how that felt from his point of view as well, but I like this one. Even if you disagree with me politically, read it. Even if you think War Is Good, read it. It'll only take a few minutes. Then, go on out and do whatever you want to commemorate the day, even if what you want to do is pay no attention whatsoever. That's what I was doing, before I saw filkertom's and rmjwell's posts linking to it.
Me, I've got dinner to serve for five people tonight, the laughter of my family to listen to, kids to teach to sing, songs to write, and a novel to finish. It's a full enough day. I think we all do more good by living well.
