Dear VV

I commend you on your efforts to bring much needed comfort, soulful comfort, at this time of extreme personal and national loss. We have not experienced such a profound loss of life on our own soil since the War Between the States. That it comes so close has left most people lacking in descriptive words to capture their feelings and understand in perspective what has happened.

Why?  I think it is because we have trivialized our descriptive language. The vocabulary of horror has been overspent, thereby, devalued.  Unfortunately, we have not caught up with the momentous task before us, and that is to rectify language, and manage rhetoric.

Yes. I am horrified. I still find myself in a trance, gripped to the last
nerve by the outrage and tragic loss.

Keep up your good work.

Peace and sanity

George Bluh
