One Giant Leap

Posted by paxvox on November 12, 2001, at 18:25:38

How many of us began to say "oh, no, not again!" around 9:30 this A.M.? Not that I have fully enjoyed my recent exacerabtion of GAD with 9-11, but when can we take another breath?

Which leads me to this emote:

July 1969, America was at war in Vietnam, and in turmoil at home. What gave us hope during such a time?
Just "one small step". We have, perhaps, all gleaned some encouragement from the accounts of bravery; and just perhaps, been able to emphathize with some of the heart-felt emotions publicly displayed by others.
But will this be enough, will we find our shining moment? I wonder. Watch... wait... worry...

Just some thoughts,


PAX
in wonderland?

> >Every drug I could get my hands on..heavy drinking. You only hoped the war would stop. Every night, Walter Chronkite showing footage and giving the body counts for us versus them. We always seemed to kill more of them.

We'll find a shining moment but nothing from now to forever will be as happy-go-lucky. Fucking feel sorry for New Yorkers. That's got to be traumatic as hell.

We need to find every terroist we can, no matter where we have to go or what we have to do. Then kill them very dead. I'm against war just like everyone else but we need to kill these people like weeds when they pop up. I think the war plans from here out are kill them before they kill us...in America. Bullshit.

Sermon over

Yea, Phil. Thanks for a moving post that just pretty much sums it up! I've been avoiding posting about it again b/c, frankly, it seemed a little too clinical here.
