9~11~2001

That time of year has come upon us again and passed without incident upon our country. We still have the need to remember the past as much as the need to plan for the future and follow through with the original intent of what’s going on overseas. Despite the fact that there are people out there that would still attempt to bully us to live by their beliefs by killing themselves, their friends, our very own neighbors, and loved ones; WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN. WE WILL NOT FORGET.

On Septembers 11th this year, I didn’t post on that day because I was just not in the mood to contemplate the above thought at that time. I spent the better part of two hours in school with the kids I work with explaining what it was that happened that day. It was an overly draining experience to relate and even more draining to try to put it into words they could understand. It's not like how mommy and daddy didn't take care of them. Or how Uncle Pervert molested them or some relative beat on them or treated them poorly. Those are things I can't even begin to fathom in the first place. It was about how people, very BAD people in the simplest of terms, attacked our country. They couldn’t even begin to wrap their minds around it. Hell, I know some adults that still can’t come to terms with the events of that day. And with no uncertainty, the very things that have happened in the lives these kids I work with, the things that brought them to the place they live is about as confounding to me as 9/11. Now there’s a sobering thought.

Whether or not it is right to continue with the tour de force in Iraq, whether or not we entered into the entire fiasco under false pretenses from our illustrious Presidente Estupido, we have a responsibility to finish what we started over there. Pulling out too early in the game makes for… Hmmmm, I suppose if I have to explain to the folks out there using sexual euphemisms it might be amusing! Point being, we gotta finish what we started or we’re gonna leave Iraq as a giant breeding ground for more plane crashing idiots that think they’re truly messengers of Allah. Think of it as mandatory birth control for flaming morons and ass munches. Yeah, that works for me.

Anyhoo, that’s all I have to say about that.

Tammolly ~Pensive… Yes, it actually happens sometimes.

...So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go wearin' my naughties like a jewel
I'm still an angel to a girl who hates to sin…
