Ten years ago today

I remember I was just finishing teaching my 130 Western Political Theory class. It was the end of my first year of teaching, and we had been discussing John Rawls' A Theory of Justice. One of my kids, who was from Oklahoma City, was extremely distracted: I asked her after class what was wrong and she told me there had been some sort of explosion in Oklahoma City, that the radio said it was some sort of gas main and a whole bunch of people were dead. We walked around campus for awhile trying to find a tee-vee wired for CNN.

Sadie has some more thoughts.

Yips! from Robbo. I suppose it was because of the occasion that the guards patrolling around the FBI building this morning were carrying machine guns.
