Speaking Your Mind

Carl RodakowskiRants

I sometimes find it hard to post on social media when it comes to things that bother me or that I think need to change. It’s not because I have people following me, such as friends or family, who I’m worried about offending or upsetting. It is rather the opposite, actually. It seems rude to post tirades with those who already feel the same as I. Why do they need me to rehash some of the junk they’ve probably been discussing with me again?

On September 11, 2001 the United States fell under direct attack by Terrorists. 2,974 innocent people not only from the US but from all across the world were forced to depart this world by the cowardly acts of 19 misguided individuals and their co-horts and cronies on the other side of the planet. Wikipedia has an article on the subject along with this image from the Department of Justice. It shows all the victims in this tragedy. When I saw this picture, it reminded me of how important and valuable life is. Something we all have a habit of forgetting. […]
