It was my Dad's birthday. He was getting ready to go to work. I was getting ready for an internship interview at a local recording studio. The water delivery person told us to turn on the TV. Something about an accident in NYC.

I spent most of the day in shock watching the towers come down. I went to my interview and didn't have to say much to get it. No one sends a guy home empty handed on a day like that if they don't have to. And small talk was made easy in an otherwise awkward situation.

Now my Dad's birthday is a day of mourning, and since he passed away a few years back it seems a very fitting mood for me personally.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.
