TheNewWorld2011

 


 

Introduction/Definition/etc

 

Probably more have died on the roads,

than in the attacks so things like

from a bike touring list,

http://www.kenkifer.com/newworld/index.htm

may give an alternative,

we had a big rush when it was an unknown

enemy, back in Sputnik days,

why can't we be motivated to do something

better?

 

 

Body

 

I was in the Washington DC suburbs when Sept 11, 2001

happened, awaking late, Not on a commute to work / school

in the new season like a lot of people...

 

I used to work, and at one place might have seen

the plane hit, or been hit, depending on the commuting

route, so it's a little personal, not as much as those

lost, or relatives of those lost, but if you look at the

losses mentioned on this site, from disability, poverty,

homelessness, bike accidents, and just plain hatred

of people different, you might discover what happens

when a country wants revenge, the collateral damage,

in terms of people left to die, unsupported because they

are blind to their neighbors, friends and loved ones...

 

Our economy is based on oil, and I don't like to think

of what happens if that is unplugged, but I don't

mind things like this

http://www.kenkifer.com/newworld/index.htm

that give an alternative, albeit a little Utopian,

it could include a Brave in front of it,

and realizing the author made what he could

of his life, later cut short by a drunk driver,

just released from the legal system,

one of many bikers who are killed by

many other's carelessness,

( see http://www.wjla.com/search/?key=Bicycle

for some possibly related things,

one recently hit in NE while wearing a helmet

GoPro video camera by a pickup truck,

which some consider attempted murder,

with a vehicle...)

 

I recently watched

http://video.pbs.org/video/1174233882

with mixed feelings, a loner kid, (seemed

like Asperger's to me), later scientist turned

soldier, then public figure, and what the country,

other competing scientists, and the "court"

did to him, following his service...

 

 

I'd prefer to remember the good things,

my father trying to bike even with heart problems,

for people he cared about, but with so many losses,

it's really difficult...

 

FootNote: See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Kifer

and that the rememberance is possibly going away

on WikiPedia, like Ghost bikes and other things,

we are erased, while others are commemorated,

perpetually, in more systemic violence...

 

 

Conclusion

 

Summary of experience or similar

 

http://tinyurl.com/natashapettigrew2011

for another local, a Green Party candidate,

killed by a driver, her mother carries

the torch, some now...
