I'm watching local TV coverage from NYC. There are no talking heads or reporters. Just folks reading the roll call and remembering their loved ones.
Perhaps this isn't the coverage some of you are seeing around the country.
I’m not just reacting to the talking heads and politicians. Even the reading of the names is borderline for me in its total preoccupation with victimization. Once upon a time in America, grown men and women kept their most passionate grief private and observed their loss with solemnity in public. Again, so no one misunderstands, I am totally sympathetic to the families; I just think, as others have said, it’s come the point where we are wallowing in it.
...and I'm glad you're participating in your own way, as well.
