Some folk need a constant reminder of an event (not limited to Tuesdays events) while others made up their minds in the first day what they feel needs to be done.

Well, I can't speak for anyone but myself, but the news coverage I've been watching for the last few days was not at all about rehashing what happened on Tuesday. It was about what has been happening since Tuesday, as well as deepening our understanding of what happened on Tuesday, and there was plenty to fill up several days of news reportage. And I was watching to learn as much as possible about where we might be headed.

Anyone who did not watch very much of this coverage really missed out on something very significant.

And the idea that someone could make up their mind about what they feel needs to be done long before we have any information even about what really happened, and by whom, is a pretty scary thought to me. That's the kind of thinking that gets us into trouble time and time again.

This period in our history is offering us incredible opportunities to learn some very important things. If we put blinders on and shut out everything that doesn't fit into our preconcieved ideas about what's what, we'll not only lose this precious opportunity, we could very well end up regretting whatever decisions we make in the long run.
