Oh, it's been a while. I've been working the project & altered a few of my online habits, so I haven't been on LJ much lately. That soon will change: the project should end tomorrow.
I drop by, however, not for that update, but rather to mark the occasion of bin Laden's death.
It seems a lot of people are thrilled by this man's demise. I'm rather appalled at Americans cheering this event. We should be relieved that a dark chapter of our history has turned a page, if not been closed altogether. We as a nation needed psychological closure. Each of the families who lost someone needed that closure.
But to drink & celebrate? That is ugly. That is vulgar. That is low.
