Oh look, another Indymedia writer is all bored with our silly little obsession over September 11th, terrorists, and such. After all, since nothing bad has happened to her or any of her close circle of friends, then obviously Al Qaeda and their ilk are not a threat, and that mean old Dubya and his posse have brought the world to the brink of nuclear war for no reason at all except sheer meanness and a desire make Joan Smith unhappy! But I thought Saddam didn't have any nukes, or even if he did, he wouldn't use them, or -- excuse me, I have to stop here, my brain refuses to go down such narrow, convoluted pathways. This article best read with Oingo Boingo's "Nothing Bad Ever Happens to Me" playing in the background.
Every time I look around this place
I see them scream but I hear no sound
And the terrible things happen down the road
To someone else that I don't even know.(Chorus)
Nothing bad ever happens to me
Nothing bad ever happens to me
Nothing bad ever happens to me
Nothing bad ever happens to me
Why should I care? ...

"...Easy for this dumb broad to tell Americans to get over the murder of almost 3,000 innocent souls, including British citizens, yet Brits STILL cannot seem to cease sobbing and mourning over the untimely demise of ONE single personality - Princess Diana."
Posted by: Lynn S at February 11, 2003 at 09:37 AMbut see, Andrea - you missed her ENTIRE point! there IS no terrorism because her "vast circle of friends in London" have never experienced it!
that's why we have to get over ourselves: because sometimes the flu is just" - well, flu."
how selfish of us to intrude on her flu with our falling buildings!!
i need to go do penance for my selfishness now.
