I understand that events like 9/11 mean different things to different people. To me, aside from the actual tragedy, I see the event being co-opoted as some kind of excuse to amplify the already disgusting level of chauvansim in our national identity and to manipulate acceptance of war-mongering and imperialism or hegemony or what ever you want to call it.I find that extremely offensive.
I didn’t say I was sophisticated, obviously I was giving credit to Rich and some of the other posters on the blog.
I am not certifiably shallow either. I have no interest in starting my own site.I have said many times I wouldn’t blame Rich for kicking half of us off. Until that happens, I guess I am FREE to participate. FLU can answer anything from me. He has before and if he cares to, he will do fine on this occasion.
