Run the races, clap the winners and go home. If you have a home to go to any more. Because that is what is important. And it is an insult to those who died and those who tried to help the dying to suggest that horse racing is an important enough event to be stopped. We have such things to care about that what takes place at the track is barely noticeable.
Some perspective is required.
The events of September 11 will take some years to get over. Many thousands of families, rent by such an escalation of terrorism, will never get over the day's events. For them, the world is forever changed. The burning twin towers of the World Trade Center are the headstones for the many thousands who will not be recovered from the rubble. Stop drowning in the shallow end of life and make a firm decision to run the goddamn races.
