Thanks for the fine “Happy Anniversary” item last month [Good Intentions, September]. What an elegant expression of the mix of concern, anger, and hurt I live with as a result of the attacks, and the inadequacy, to put it mildly, of most of the public debate and actions that have followed. The juxtaposition of the attacks’ anniversary with that of the megamall is painfully perfect. Can we buy ourselves out of pain and fear, or be bought off of our concern about Bush, Cheney, et al.’s political and economic malfeasance? We’ll see.
