September 11th – just another day
Can we, as a nation, please get over September 11? Every year we lower the flag, have rememberances, read the names, make it a top news story, etc. Am I the only one who is sick of hearing about it? Maybe its the administration? Will we still have to hear about it this much if Obama is elected? I’m not trying to be unsympathetic, but if I lost a loved one SEVEN years ago and I still couldn’t get over it, people would think I am psycho.
Sure, the date did affect me personally. I . . .
- stand in line longer at airports.
- watched my stocks and retirement tank.
- pay more for gas.
- had to watch that horrific telethon on EVERY channel.
- gave up a bit of my privacy.
- paid more taxes to fund this senseless war.
Other than that, I could care less about September 11th. I don’t know anyone who died. Can you imagine having a birthday on september 11th? Everyone would here the date and care more about some demolished office buildings than about your special day.
As far as I’m concerned, the individuals who attacked us are dead, so justice has been done. Our government has invested billions of dollars into this “homeland security” fantasy, when the reality is that IF YOU ARE WILLING TO DIE FOR YOUR CAUSE, NOBODY CAN STOP YOU.
