Five years ago this morning, thousands of people were killed by terrorists, and our country, our world, began to be turned upside-down. We mourn those lost people, and those who have been lost after.

But.

Three questions must be asked -- okay, several thousand questions must be asked, but let's keep it down to these three:

• Do you really feel safer today than you did five years ago?
• Do you really feel the actions taken by our government with the stated purpose of protecting us have worked?
• Do you really feel the actions taken by our government with the stated purpose of protecting us have been worth it?

Marilyn, Pearl Harbor, and 9/11

Rich Fantasy Remix

Okay, something completely frivolous and fun.

That wonderful psychobabe cadhla decided to lyrically remix a number of Pegasus nominees. She got me twice -- one combining "Rich Fantasy Lives" with Talis Kimberly's "Archetype Cafe", and one combining "RFL" with Daniel Glasser's evil lullaby "Close Your Eyes".

That one, I just couldn't leave alone.

Update: Very slightly revised file, new file name. For some reason I'd got the wrong name stuck in my head for Dan's song. Duh-hrrr.
