Post by LenonaHas anyone noticed that, for a change, the media are NOT misusing the
word "lay"?
That is, every time I turned on the TV or radio, at least, they were all
saying "will lie in state" or "lies in state."
There is hope yet!
(But my biggest dream is for all the professional news media to hold a
contest for the fewest grammatical errors in a year - when it comes to
teleprompters, at the very least. No more "wannas" or "gonnas," for
starters!)
So are you gonna see what you wanna see?
I watched some of C-SPAN's coverage of the funeral.
Three of Carter's grandsons spoke,all with the first
initial J just as all his sons have...I wonder how
long that tradition may last.
Some remarks seemed to be aimed at highlighting the
goodwill toward others Carter and his contemporaries
practiced,in contrast to the combative Trump...who
I do not believe would admit the point.
I spotted a Space Force master sergeant among the
pallbearers,they seemed to want all the military
branches represented rather than reflecting Carter's
own (Navy) background in the party composition.

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
