I suffer from a residual belief that somebody in the US
government still wants to protect NYC from being blown up. This is
probably naive of me and I should stop.
Listening to the President's speech a few nights ago I had a
terrible realization. He was warning us, covering his ass really,
that we were going to be attacked again. I mean, I've seen the
polls and read the columns speculating about the odds of Bush
sweeping the election (or even just forgoing it) in the face of
terrorist attack. I've been worried for a while, but hearing him
cover his ass in the first 15 minutes of a speech just chilled me
to the bone.
I recently moved from NYC to Ohio, but I still worry about my city
and all those who still live in it. Yeah, you should probably stop
being naive. You might also want to consider taking that long
walking tour of Canada in August or September.
