They're working on it. Not as quick as we'd like, but it's climbing.

RIP to all those innocent lives lost,
and lets not also forget the ground zero rescue workers who have become seriously ill or died as the result of mercury and asbestos inhalation.
9/11 continued to inflict death and suffering even after the towers were down. |
I was laid up in a hospital bed that morning. I looked away from the TV for just a moment and when I looked back up all I saw was the cloud of dust from the first tower that fell. Stayed glued to the set for most of two weeks thereafter, with a bunk leg and two perfectly good hands. Still wondering how I'll tell the younger generations, when I'm old and corroded, if they were to ask. I wouldn't have thought before then that I'd see such a thing in my lifetime, that's for certain.

Yeah, we do need a common ground. Not enough understanding going around. It's hard to see some of the old sentiments I'm overcoming being aired by others even this long after. I'm not afraid any more, but what about the rest of the country? We've got some spot fires to put out.
