bin Laden is a symbol

I hear it and I know it's true.  Osama bin Laden is dead.

But what does that mean?

The evil is gone?  A specter has been shed.  No longer will he return from the dark places to worry us.  That is what we like to do isn't it?  We like to worry and be worried.  The anxiousness of it all.  Feel alive when at any other time of the day you might feel whooped. 

Alarm to bed sheets, the days cycle slowly.  The dragging days are there.  Nothing is happening and who knows where the time went, because here is now until it was then.  

We're always left searching for the next moment.

We search for an obsession.  That little something to occupy the mind with all the time we have been given.  And the funny thing is it doesn't feel like a enough time, but it really is because we're so bored we want to be worried.  We like it.  MSNBC gets tremendous amounts of money for making their audience nervous, while Fox News has perfected the pessimistic soil-yourself simulcast.  Their money increases with levels of anxiety, but here it is. 

Osama bin Laden is dead.  If you allow your mind to wander, it seems he was delivered like a present.  Osama bin Laden is dead.  No body, but we have a heck of a story about SEAL operations like Call of Duty: Black Ops.  A very popular game with the kids I might add.  Then there's always that to worry about.  Should the U.S. government have gone into Pakistan?  What really happened to bin Laden's body?  Is it possible there isn't a body because Osama really died a long time ago?  Did Obama do this as a campaign trick?  Will there be an al-Qaeda retaliation?  Should we start the Draft to protect ourselves?  How about getting rid of all the people who look different than us? 

What do WE look like?

There's so much to worry about and so much time, until...
