In last week's rant I talked about my frustration with the intelligence of the media's questions during press conferences after the September 11th tragedy. The inspiration for that rant came during one of the press briefings that I spoke of there. The inspiration for this week's rant came during the same time frame, but from a much more mundane source. A simple conversation between some friends and myself a few weeks ago.

Our conversation started off simply enough, we were discussing current events and noting that the terrorist attacks brought the whole country closer together. You can't drive the down the street without noticing it. The American Flags on the cars and businesses. Red, white, and blue everywhere you look. The overwhelming voice of Americans support the efforts taking place to bring those responsible for the attacks to justice.
