9-11 2 cents
After I watched that video from the French guys doing a documentary on a firehouse in downtown NYC my views of Sept 11th changed somewhat. That is an amazing piece of video. One worthy of some kind of award. I sat agasp as I heard bodies fall and heard one fireman say, "it must be pretty bad up there if the best alternative is to jump." Then I felt anxiety hoping that the firemen would get out alive before the tower collapsed. I hadn't seen the video of the plane collisions in a year but when I saw them fresh again only one thought would fill my mind... "those mother fuckers!"
Rather than remember the atrocities that occured. Rather than mourn our dead. Rather than feel the sting of the slap these idiots have given us. Rather than rally around the flag and feel like we are better than the other team, I propose the following: Let's forget. Let's forget that some idiots thought it would be a good idea to run passenger aircraft into a tall tower. Let's forget their names. Let's not give them any more mention in the media. Let's not vilify them any longer. They are nothing to us. They weren't before 9/11/01 and they shouldn't be now. Life goes on and as Americans we are the ones leading that charge. We shouldn't let these misguided boys have any more power over us than what they have already done. We're better than that. Let's do exacty what BK admonishes, let's get back to work, let's roll and for God's sake let's all go to the Star Bar and have a drink.
