Where are the special editions talking about the victims of covid, instead it’s all about the loud screamers who yell about freedom,….fine take your freedom and move to an island but don’t put others at risk. I’d better stop ranting now. Wish I could sleep.

Yes, I'm with you, Nammu!
Though I do understand how 9/11 might come up on a "20 years since" date, it is frequent that there is deflection from even greater dangers and crises. Clear and present ones. Wouldn't it have seemed nicer if they rather highlighted the lovely 9/11 memorial they built in place of the old World Trade Center! And a time when the citizens of the US came together, rather than being angrily and sadly divided by foolishness and divisiveness?!?! We are in extreme need of the former! My husband and I visited the WTC Memorial about a year ago, or thereabouts. It, to me, honors the memories of those affected, respectfully. I highly recommend a visit there to anyone visiting NYC. There were many aspects of it that were significant to me, but one that stands out was The Survivor Tree right at Ground Zero. It was a tree that stood there before the terrorist attack, and unlike all others in the area, it remained, despite destruction all around it. It lives on and prospers. They make sure that it does, because its symbolism is priceless. New trees were also planted around. Also significant. Learn a bit more about that at
I hope tomorrow is easier for us both and that we sleep better. I struggled to get going today, as well, because of almost no sleep.
