Still, from the visual perspective of perhaps somebody in the pestilant Third World (India, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Guatemala, etc.), they might look at these NYC photos and say 'what's the big deal? We live this way EVERY DAY!".
They probably think Americans are weak crybabies over this whole, one-day thing. In a larger way, well, maybe they are.
A sad situation yesterday, indeed, but perhaps unfortunately now many more people truly know how nearly 2/3rds of the Earth's population actually lives out their lives every day in squalor, confusion and frustration, day-in and day-out.
I say we might want to count our blessings a little tonight, rather than curse the darkness.
