Must, not, must, not...


Must not buy into the media-driven overload of information that 9/11 was a life-changing event. Except the USA's.
Must buy into the belief that what counts is lives of people who died. On that day. And since.
Must not let the din from the 9/11 anniversary drown out the muted cry of thousands of Somali children dying of hunger and thirst.
Must keep in the mind that vested interests are our primary information sources. And the interests are not often mine.
Must not take the moral high ground.
Must not take refuge in the low ground of moral ambiguity.
