It’s not too soon

Risky tax scheme…culture of corruption…it’s too soon. Hear it enough and you’ll start believing it. And if I hear “it’s too soon” to see a film like United 93 one more time, my head will explode.
Is it “too soon” to stop showing Katrina footage? We don’t seem to have any issues with running that endlessly. Frankly, a lot of us think that we don’t see 9/11 coverage often enough - and that it’s not accidental.
As far as I’m concerned, Memory of the Camps isn’t shown enough, either. Why isn’t that required material in our government schools? I’d bet there isn’t a high school kid in this town who would know what that was. Shoah? Hiroshima? Show students the footage of the aftermath of an atom bomb. How do you teach history and not teach this?
Some things we should never forget.
I’m old enough to remember when TV stations “signed off” each night to the national anthem. I used to stay up for that. I mean, I knew transmission was winding down and there were no more programs to watch, but I wouldn’t turn off the set. I’d wait for the anthem to end.
If TV stations signed off today instead of running infomercials and B-movies throughout the night, they might consider running footage of planes flying into towers. No soundtrack necessary, no voiceovers. The pictures speak volumes.
