Having just emerged from the greeting card section of a local shop, in search of a "sympathy" card, it does seem that prepackaged sentiments are the order of the day. I like your observation about buying our way out of the post 9/11 reality. Why is "shop and spend" our counter? Why not "attend your local place of worship" (I don't think that would have caused a problem with the establishment clause). At any rate, the call to shop didn't ring true.

"sentimentality" (aka "cute")?
If so, is this tied into the exhortations by our leaders to try to buy our
way out of post 9-11 fear and to ignore their (our?) preparations for mass
murder?
