I've said loads of words thruout my life. I suppose, by this argument, that I've said some pretty fucking awesome things, too. I mean, I said all the words, I just didn't string them together in that way...

Some after-the-fact editing is all you need.

I found the chanting and all night singing a bit much, and noted that alot the crowd seemed very young. There was some anlaysis on NPR and they talked about how for young people, somoene who was under 12 say in 2001, Bin Laden was the Big Bad Bogeyman for large portion of their lives, so for him to be killed is huge in perspective.

My thoughts are summed up very well by what is apparently a hackneyed mis quote incorrectly attributed to Mark Twain, anyway,

"I have never wished anyone dead, but there are obituaries I have read with great deal of satisfaction"

also the new drink is The Bin Laden, two shots and a splash of water.

There is a very interesting article on the USA Today website discussing what his death means to those of my generation. Worth the read. I was about 14 at the time of 9/11, so my peers and I have that burned into our memories as a sudden, severe wake-up call to the way the world truly is. And now a long, dark chapter of our lives has been ended.

I doubt anything will change soon.
