Today, we remember pain and anguish of that Tuesday, five years ago today. We remember the terrified victims in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, and the incredible bravery of the Men and Women who risked their own safety to save a few.
It has been said, so many times, that this changed everything. It has, more then I could could have imagined at the time. Five years later, I find I have lost all trust in the press — an institution I grew up respecting and lauding. I have lost faith in my government, as an intuition of reasoned compromise and rational debate. I have found that cynicism has become truth in our country. We all have lost a great deal since the barbaric events of that sunny Tuesday. May God have mercy on us.
