LINES OF THE DAY

". . . But the past does not exist independently from the present. Indeed, the past is only past because there is a present, just as I can point to something over there only because I am here. But nothing is inherently over there or here. In that sense, the past has no content. The past -- or more accurately, pastness -- is a position. Thus, in no way can we identify the past as past." p. 15

". . . But we may want to keep in mind that deeds and words are not as distinguishable as often we presume. History does not belong only to its narrators, professional or amateur. While some of us debate what history is or was, others take it into their own hands." p. 153

9/11 Commemoration Within Pandemic Times

     . . . . Another 9/11 anniversary commemoration has come around, an event that helped the arrival of even worse time we're having now. 

9/11 was our Big Break of Before and After in our lives (there are others too, but this covered it all from public-political, to economic-cultural, as well as personal).  This tore the gates off all our safeguards and protections for everything, allowing the full flood level of 1927 of cruelty, corruption, pillaging and oppression to take-over with no questions asked, as even frackin’ dems and libs bent over for it, behind the utterly transparent veil of patriotism and religion.  IOW, enabling the shoggothdeathcultmurdererinchief and the horrors he's unleashed and broken out from under the rocks to do murder and mayhem and hate with impunity.

To those who say, "I'm so over 9/11. So many are alive now who weren't even born then," I say, FUCK YOU.  You're just like all those who think we should allow everyone who isn't under 50 to die of the pandemic because, you know, move over, you're over, you are nothing, nothing at all compared to us who are under 40.  

Also, SHAME ON YOU. You have revealed yourself to be a self-centered, narcissist pos, like so many, which is why this country can't have nice things.  We're always all about oneself, never about a community, much less, you know, a nation.
