I had a conversation with a Red Cross worker on the subway. We were returning from the area and we both had witnessed the site from a physically close distance. We agree on one thing in particular—the emotional impact of the death toll has yet to hit the average American. Once that does occur, you will see a real transformation, not this media-fed junk we're seeing now.

Well it better happen soon or we may have half of us trying to go kick some a$$ and the other half sending fricking care packages off to Afghanistan...

Yeah Cowgirl, that passive response has struck me as well... And this is by far not the first time-- seems like when anything hardcore goes down, the natural conserv gut reaction is "Blood for blood! FAIR JUDGMENT!" And the libs invariably condemn us for that.

But RETALIATION IS ONLY FAIR, people.

Who are they, at any rate, to say what's appropriate and what's not, if they haven't been affected like that man you heard talking to the panel... What unabidable gall.
