Lets unite. Stop division. Stop being agitated by "news" networks, politicians and special interested. Love each other. Life is delicate. I was in the towers on 9/11/2000. Imagine if I would have been there a year later.

Love. Not hate.

I have driven to NYC from Maryland often to visit family going back 40plus years. Always remembered the two hour drive on Jersey Turnpike headed towards the Big Apple, seeing nothing extraordinary until we turn from North to north-northeast when you're within 30 minutes from New York, and all of a sudden seeing the Twin Towers on the Horizon. Post 9-11 it was so eerily strange to be on the same route towards NYC and not seeing the Towers. As someone once told me, it was akin to seeing someone you know after they had a limb amputated. Perhaps symbolic of what has transpired to many folks, especially those involved in senseless wars thereafter.

I'm of the belief that most folks get on with life loving their close ones regardless of their political, social and religious views. I have relatives, especially a brother and his family, who couldn't be more opposite to my political views. In fact, I despise their views, but I respect and love them for the good family people they are, and they were there for my wife and me when I almost died on the operating table. I also like to think I've been there for them as well. Life is too short to get bog down on relatively stupid nonsense. So I don't believe that many people are at each other's throats.

I hope I’m wrong, but hopefully yesterday’s events don’t take away from today. RIP to all involved from this day, and the 20 plus years of war because of it.

There are memorials throughout the day for 9/11. Every year since the event. And what happened yesterday is just as much as a tragic event as 9/11. A man was assassinated because of his beliefs which are protected by the US Constitution. If this was the 1960s, Kirk would have a day named after him.

I agree. Sadly, social media dominates the conversation but in reality (and thankfully), it represents a tiny fraction of the population. Most people are too busy with their daily life struggles to be at each other's throats about politics. JMO.
