ещё об Америке: ярость
Oct. 25th, 2001 12:25 pmВот такое письмо появилось в разделе писем читателей сайта Эндрю Салливана:
I'm a 54 year old elementary school teacher. Liberal Democrat. Lapsed Catholic. Gore voter. Happily married mother of two fine adults. Cancer survivor (so far). I'm a calm, reasonable person who thinks every problem has a solution and that solution is best arrived at by talking. Since Sept. 11 I've never experienced such sustained rage in my life. I can't think of anything else. I can't read about anything else. I can't talk about anything else. I can't watch anything else on television or the internet. I devour all the military information available. I've grown particularly fond of the CA-130 gunship. I especially admire the way it can "loiter" over targets.
I'm ready to knit socks, roll bandages, give blood, or any of the other useless options available to an overweight 54 year old woman. But what I really want to do would land me in jail. You talked about the anger of the American people growing daily. I don't think it's growing. That's impossible. I think it's now only being vocalized. If I'm any indication of what's going on out here in the American mindset, then these barbarians are already history.
