Bells Across Pa on May 3



As Poe would tell us, the tintinabulation of clanging bells has different meanings at different times, from a "world of merriment" to "world of solemn thought." Perhaps all these emotions are appropriate when the iron tongues of church bells toll on May 3 at 7 pm. We certainly should be grateful to those who have continued feeding us as well as those who've kept us out of harm's way. Yet at the same time, the sobbing of the bells can express how many of us feel about both lives and liberties lost.

    When I view TV commercials with sensitive music, overworked healthcare workers who still had time to choreograph and rehearse endless dance videos, and the empty symbolism of ringing bells and flags at half mast (why are we doing this, this time?), I'm saddened. I know I should get back on the we-are-the-world, hero worship, cake and circuses bandwagon. I just can't.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
