Precaution...

[alexpgp]

I've been dismissed by the Ops Planner. People are heading out of the MCC. I'm finishing this post and heading out, myself.

I cannot shake the feeling that things will never be the same. That this tragedy will be used to further petty political ends of all sorts.

I can barely type...

...which means I should shut up and get the hell out of here.

Sorry, Ancient One, but the only thing we can do for the people who died is bury them.

But how to help the living? How to console the wives, husbands, sons, daughters, etc. who lost loved ones? How to ease the pain of those who lost friends?

I don't know the answer to that one.

Cheers...

I meant figuratively for their memory...in reality, whatever we do for them, no matter how we do it, will be for those of us (in particular their families) left alive, as you so rightly point out. Part of that has to be finding a way to stop this insanity.

Stopping the insanity...that's going to be hard.

When sides have been butchering each other for generations, and carefully teaching their offspring to hate the enemy and those perceived as the enemy's allies, there would seem to not be a way to stop the insanity, for even if - magically - the enemy and his allies were to be transported to some land far, far away overnight, the hate and vitriol would remain, and if no enemy were present, one would have to be - and would be - invented.

Cheers...
