I found The Onion to be so well done this issue, that I would like to have a hard copy to keep. They are fantastic writers, to take something so awful and find the right tone for intelligent satire. The "articles" are great and quite biting at times, but never offensive, to my mind anyway. I do get the feeling from the past week that people are starting to get over the trauma of the attack, though I think some things may well have changed forever. The violence implicit in so much of our everyday speech and turns of phrase now feels strange, and a new gentleness seems necessary. I hope that we have also learned to live more for the day, and keep our priorities in order. Take care, everyone.
