I am sitting here watching the end of the standoff in Mass. and something just does not seem right with what I am seeing and hearing. Smiles and laughter, people dancing in the streets. A reporter saying canceling a BALL GAME a small price to pay. Policemen, fire trucks, SWAT teams, slowly leaving the area in a slow almost parade like procession. Tooting their horns as they go.
I'm sorry, but has everyone there forgotten the REASON for them being there in the first place? To me the loss of life and limb should be remembered first and foremost. An event requiring, no DEMANDING a solemnity seen no where in this news coverage. Yet it seems to be one huge block party. Yes we are glad you got your homes back. Now GO TO THEM.
I had much more I was going to say, but just this small bit pains me so much I think I have to quit here. I only have one question. What the hell is wrong with people???
