Unified by an Idea
People say that tragedy brings people together. I don't thing that's what it is. I think tragedy brings people to the same mindset, be it loss, grief, anger, revenge. And it is that shared mindset that unites people. So, after Sept. 11th, non-conservatives didn't just start liking Bush's politics; we just all agreed that there was something more important to come together for. There still is.

Agreed.
Good, 'cause I was hoping someone could tell me what that thing is?
Interesting thought... perhaps it is the mindset over the actual tragedy. Is that just for events that happen to a whole group, meaning in this case the tragedy of 9-11, or does it also apply to lets say grief that a relative died, and everyone gathers together to mourn. Is it still the mindset or has the actual tragedy brought them together?
My contention is that the tragedy brings them to a like mindset. Therefore, instead of waiting for the next tragedy to unite the country, perhaps we could all agree on a like mindset? That's the idea behind the thought at least. And this idea could apply to various other situations as well.
