I just finished mourning the senseless loss of life and property seven years ago. I'm not a finger-pointer by nature but I'll be damned if someone wasn't asleep at the wheel.
I get so pissed that it's hard to express it. We go on rewarding people who distract us so that they can rob us blind. We promote folks who put the greater good in the trash and feather their nests. We open our hearts and our wallets......to crooks. In the name of peace and security, we war because war will bring peace and security. We permit injustice because, we're told, this will insure both freedom and justice.
And the question is: Are we really any safer than we were seven years ago? Are we any closer to capturing the master-minds of the events seven years ago? After all the lives that have been lost, the wounds that will never heal, the billions that have been spent, the harm that has been done.....are we any better off than we were seven years ago?
Or are the same drivers still asleep at the wheel?
