Con Fluence...

of Terror ? 

... not to make light or tangent, nor preempt.***

Yesterday another "tragedy" has struck a major city and our nation.  The "quotation marks" only designate* the issue with words.  As a runner with relatives in Boston, not that I will ever run a marathon, the relation to this matter is special.
]segue see list below[

No one has taken credit yet, or at least those that may have are being withheld or dismissed by authorities. That seems an added layer of terror, not to lay blame or further speculation.

The point is that yesterday was a day of confluence, with  relation to North Korea's "leadership", Boston's History, a Newtown dedication, and our Nation's debtedness.

Here we go again...

another "Tragedy".

Japan Earthquake 2011

Ledership?* Not to ponder. I pun on journalism, as the heading is called a lede. I broach this piece with the tragic news of the earthquake in Japan, where I have family as well as tsunami, in Hawaii where family is also located. Expressing our thoughts and prayers for the impacted are what was difficult about understating or even blogging about it.

Yesterday's post was quite involved and spun off of and onto other threads of thought. Not that any of that had to do with what may have been record winds in our neighborhood and record rain the previous day in the region. But I will close for the day and get on with my intended schedule with only an update on The Curve or Nuance Thing.**

Looking back.

[The Arizona Tragedy]
The last link, Awkword! includes three links which I have yet to really comment on: the previous awkward link, Morning Joe on Sarah Palin's "reprehensible" video and President Obama's Arizona memorial speech.

There is much more work to do for this to be a "teachable moment", but there is no denying that making it a teachable moment is a political act, at least by those that are working to make it a teachable moment. Of course there will be deniers of both. (Editor's note: I walked this back a bit but still feel it is left a bit circular in logic. Why do I imagine DNA and RNA?)

"unspeakable tragedy"

Words indeed cannot represent the feelings that flow from the tragedy at a Tucson Safeway. Yet they must suffice and be considered, to matter going forward.

TO EACH OUR OWN:
Checking our words that is, and our crowd.*

*just to be clear, this is not my crowd, but I will be circumspect, until I escape the circular logic. [Not to jump on a band wagon, but the circular logic seems to be explained here.]
