Twenty years ago plus a day, the world changed. The day after, there was a new sense of unity as we mourned the lives lost the day before. For a little while, we got along.
It unfortunately didn’t last. We have to get back to that. If these critters can get along, surely we can too.

I understand that not everyone loves everyone, but today’s divisiveness and meanness scare me.
