9/11

I first started reading blogs around the time of 9/11. It was something that pushed a lot of people to explore this new medium of expression. You could be a world away and read the thoughts and impressions of real people who were suffering through a tragedy, and sympathize with their feelings.

It’s been a long eight years since then. People said things would never be the same, and for some people, that’s true. A lot of bad things have been done in our nation and around the world under the banner of 9/11. Over 4,000 American soldiers have been killed in two wars. Countless thousands of citizens of two nations have been killed in those wars as well.

So today, I’m sure people will be remembering the ones who were directly impacted by the events of that day eight years ago. I hope they will remember the ripples that have spread from that event and affected the rest of us.

About The Author

The Arguing One
Many moons ago in the blogosphere there was a minor writer with the moniker “Bryan S.” who flew the flag of “Arguing with Signposts.” His politics were vaguely conservative, warblogger, humorist, cynic, libertarian. In short, he screwed all that up. So, you might say this is my attempt to set that stuff straight. The flag is flying again. But we’ve set a course that’s at odds with the haze of the last eight years. Onward!
