No Tony, I think your right. Lord knows the number of quips I've cracked within the safety of my own home in the past week. Were I to crack them outside the home, I'd probably be blasted for being an insensitive unAmerican asshole.
For me, going to NYC last weekend and seeing everything going on outside St. Vincent's Hospital gave me what I can best describe as "closure." Since then, I've had a sense of peace about what has happened. Furthermore, given my current health situation, I have something that requires more of my attention now.
It's like what happened during the Gulf War...the US was riveted to its TV for days on end, then the War ended, and we went back to normalcy. We never forget about it, but we moved on.
I don't know what is going to happen from here, as it seems we are on a path towards some sort of military action. But I personally feel like I'm getting desensitized to the situation, which I'm fighting. We certainly will not forget what has happened, but we must live again...
