conulyIt's not 9/11 that is the problem, it's all the damn human interest stories about 9/11. I'm a human. I'm not all that interested. Living through it once was enough, and I was safely on Staten Island.
But you can't convince the media. Ugh, if it's this bad now, it's going to be positively hellacious in ten years. (But I'm hoping that by then it'll be like Pearl Harbor or the General Slocum and we'll hardly ever hear about it ever again.)
I just keep reminding myself it was worse the first few years after. You could hardly turn on the TV without catching a retrospective.
