"mundus vult decipi"

can it be true that people want to be deceived? is 911 still so traumatic that people rather be in denial and not want to know that our leaders failed to take actions that could have prevented it? is the possibility that the tragedy could have been averted so uncomfortable for some people to even consider?

personally hard for me to fathom since i rather have the painful truth than to be sitting in the dark and ignorant. it's the not knowing that makes me worry, (wonder if there is a latin phrase for that). i think most of us feel that way or else we wouldn't be in a forum like this one. one of the ways i coped with 911 was to try to get informed and read up on where the anger that fueled the attack was coming from. but i think there is some truth to that saying. some people just don't want to know.

november will tell us wether people value the truth over their comfort zone.
