America has been hit again by terrorism. Now the conspiracy theorists, the truthers, the "strangos," the religious zealots, and every new type of crazy will be coming out of the woodwork to blame whomever is their objective. Common sense seems to elude many of us at these times and all the fringe elements of society flock to the front -- seeking attention, but also attempting to explain away the tragedy with some god-awful type of idiocy.
Isn't the horror of the event enough? Can't we wait to find out what really happened instead of constructing yet-another ridiculous "ancient alien" theory? Aren't we mature enough to be patient with ourselves, our system of laws, our seekers of truth in our governments -- without trying to supersede information with our own personal myths?
I mourn quietly and internally for the victims -- the three innocent souls who died (and their loving families), the hundreds who were injured or shattered (and their families), and the millions who are saddened and effected by all this mayhem. May they find happiness in spite of all this sadness and pain.
