Celebration?

Posted on May 4, 2011 by drholyangel

I felt sad to see the way people reacted. It’s not a sporting event. I believe that the “in yer face” attitude is beneath what we stand for as a nation. To turn it around, how did we Americans feel when we saw the (largely staged) videos of people dancing in the streets after the World Trade Center buildings came down?

Posted on December 2, 2010 by drholyangel

De Profundis

Posted on June 5, 2010 by drholyangel
