> Another 20 years of nothing learned, although good money for the arms industry. Our PM remarked when asked if it had been worth it 'Freedom is always worth fighting for', to which the father of a soldier killed replied 'B*llsh*t!' Every year it is as if we grow a little more stupid and ignorant, but maybe it is me getting older and still being able to remember.

> Our PM also said of the Quad (USA, Japan, Australia, India) that it was the dawn of freedom for the Indo Pacific region. So much dawn, so little light.

sigh.

yeah.

i remember what i was doing when i learned that the twin towers had been driven into by an airplane. i arrived for a dbt group session. apparently i was a "borderline personality" black and white thinker who needed to learn a little mindfulness acceptance...

or my therapists did. while Bush proclaimed "whoever is not for us is against us"

and my first question was:

why?

was it political?

(i mean... was it an accident? engineering failure? navigation problems? political statement about USA international trade policies? uh...)

m'kay.

the scope of a promise never to forget. 20 years later. indeed.

my promise never to forget was like... closer to 40 years ago.

am i forgiven yet?
