I forgot to post about 9-11 last year. I know I was distracted by the Appalachian Trail but I should have remembered. Forgetfulness is often our downfall.
It has been nineteen years since the towers came down and Bin Laden's victory continues. America has been in the grip of terror and even the hopeful Obama presidency wasn't able to break the downward spiral of our Democratic Experiment. If anything the hopefulness only brought out the ugliness once hidden in the shadows.
We are less than a month and a half from the American elections and all I feel is a confused knot of hope and dread. Which path will our country take? Does it really matter? I can't forget the fact that thirty to forty percent supports the President and his sycophants. They will not go away after the elections ... no matter what the results are.
The towers fell nineteen years ago and the chain reaction that began goes on and on. It didn't start the corruption of our Democracy but it did act as an accelerant for its downfall. Now, since the beginning of the year, Covid-19 has claimed American lives equivalent to sixty-four 9-11s. Another 9-11s worth lose their lives every two and a half days. When will it all end?
