Comfortably numb?

So spring is here. The only reason I state the obvious is it seems to be such a big deal that it snowed here in MO on Saturday. You would have thought the magnetic poles were shifting the way some people were acting. I think of it as karma though. After all, we did have some unusually warm weather during winter this year. I dunno, when you think about it (or when I think about it really) it seems to be a reflection of how quickly we as Americans can forget things. My point is this year is the twelfth anniversary of 911. Did you realize that? Quick, how long ago was Bin Ladin killed? You see, we desensitize events like that as a means of moving on. The problem with this, and I'm guilty of it too, is its not really moving on. Its a refusal to face reality and work it out. My whole life has potholes of events I don't remember for whatever reason but still naw at me from the edges of sanity. I guess what I'm saying is we need to start facing our problems instead of ignoring them before we forget how great this nation is or was (depending on point of view)
Yup, all that from a snowfall in spring time.
