I perhaps shouldn't have said I feel nothing when I see that footage. It was hyperbole. But I do feel that seeing it as much as I have has desensatized me somewhat. And I'm not the only one who feels that way. I cringe when I think about it more so than when I see it now.

But it's also important to get on with your life and try not to give these people (and believe me, I use the term lightly) the air time they sought to take over. The image that keeps going on and on in my head is members of terrorist organizations sitting in front of their television screens celebrating their accomplishment, smiling at the network takeover they've been able to accomplish. That makes me sick to my stomach. The idea of letting them win by pre-empting our lives to watch what they accomplished, over and over...
