Sep. 11th, 2001 09:25 pmI wish there was something I could say that hasn't been said before about the bombing.
Except there isn't.
Many friends of my father and of my mother are dead. Several of my brother's friends have no parents.
And only through sheer chance am I here instead of being there when it happened.
The dice came down...and I won, at the cost of someone else's life.
Of ten thousand lives.
I'm ashamed to be of the same species as the person who did this atrocious deed.
