Well, it's officially September 11th

I'm learning about chaos theory in my geopolitics class... it's all about how small actions like a butterfly in Brazil flapping its wings can create hurricaines off the coast of Florida etc. It is nothing you can predict or anticipate. It just happens and you are left to manage the consequences as you can.

9/11 was such and event. 19 guys got on a plane and flew into some buildings. It completely changed how the current world superpower operates. It was a watershed moment. They don't come along very often.

How in the world did we all get here?

I went to one class on 9/11 before the news hit and the world changed; literature.

Appropriate, don't you think?
