Jan 6th

For me, January 6th 2020 is on a par with Sept 11, 2001 and November 22, 1963. I will never forget where I was and what I was doing. Unlike 9/11 or 11/22, 1/6 is too fresh to have the perspective of history to soften the blunt edges of the horror of those days and the pain inflicted. Unlike the other two, the partisan politics try to twist and shape today’s memory into that which it is not. All three were forms of terrorism. Whatever else you do today, vow to remember the truth and make a commitment to vote.

Also, since I can’t add this in the comments, I will add it here. At least one Republican was concerned.

I’ve turned off comments. I’ve started to get the usual conspiracy theory comments — “it was all a trap orchestrated by Nancy Pelosi.” It can only go downhill from there. I did allow opposing opinions, but when we step off  into that conspiracy deep end, I cannot give that air or space on my blog.
