"I want to be a better brother"

Posted at 10:30 AM on September 11, 2006 by Bob Collins

I can't explain it, but politics seems as irrelevant to me today as it did five years ago. I watched the documentary on CBS (the one produced by the two brothers from France) last night even though I've seen it before and found it even more compelling this time because this time I didn't miss an important ingredient. The final words after all the stuff the brothers went through that day were: "I want to be a better brother." Granted politics is important, I guess, in the big wordly scheme of things but today also seems like a good day to reflect on whether we've become better brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, colleagues, friends etc.

And if you don't want to do that (here comes the required political content) then listen to Amy Walter of the Cook Report and Stephen Schier Carleton talk about the midterms.
