Sitting on the living room couch watching television...horrified, astonished, and emotionally stressed from being saddened to angered at something that never should of happened. I am now as different as the landscape of New York, forever "tainted" by actions of the misconstrued. No longer "naive" and trusting it is now a level of skepticism that leans towards racism. And who do we have to blame? 1000 different events had led to this atroxity. We the people should have been informed by someone who saw this coming. We know now that our government is just as busy as we are, 'running around' from day to day, too busy to stand back and take a look at the "whole picture".
