Maybe if Alzheimers sets in...

Things I'll never forget

Hurricane Hazel... that mid-fifties storm destroyed our first farmhouse in Canada. It flooded out the town closest to us.

The October Crisis... I remember staying up all night listening to the speeches at the UN and worriedly reading the papers. My father was particularly concerned and contemplated moving north. In fact, he did eventually move to the Northwest Territories believing it a safer place than crowded Ontario.

The Kennedy assasination... I was in English class when our teacher was informed. He then told a stunned class the news.

The events of 9/11, 2001 will be in my memories until the day I die.

NOTHING of that day will be softened by time.

This will only be monumental until the next monumental event, and then the next monumental event and so on and so on. I really don't see what the big deal is. A couple of planes hit a couple of buildings and some people died. 10,000 children die everyday because of treatable diseases and starvation. I think that it is worse that we let kids die of starvation then what happened on 9/11. I think that it is worse that thousands died due to the nuclear bombs the US dropped on Japan, and i would guess that every generation, less and less people don't even know that it occurred, same goes for the holocaust.

Now to qualify this i do not live in the US so i'm sure that it has more meaning to you then it does me. I just think that in the big picture as far as monumental events, this is not on the top.

With no disrespect towards you or the people who hold this close to their hearts, i just think its healthy to take a step back and look at things detached from emotional bonds.

On further reflection it is probably not even my place to post on this thread, this is a US thing and not a international thing.

I'm about to hurt alot of peoples feeling right now...I hate the fact people lost thier lives on 9/11 is sad....It's sad that their are children who will grow up and never know their parents, it's sad that families were torn apart, it's sad loved ones were lost...But it sad to know that people have just been taken the governments word on what happened to those lost. 9/11 didn't affect me..Not one bit when I saw the video first thing that popped into my mind was "damn" another drunk pilot. I hate that this touched so many I think thats sad. But today I don't feel one bit different than on that day.

I refuse to let this event change my American way and people who can't let this go need to take a long look back into history this country has survived everything, Peal Harbor, WWI, WWII, etc. We will always survive we are America me, you,my kids, your kids but using this event to kill our soldiers and force others to our way of life isn't the answer.
So 2 the fallen we need to honor ,not the event we are making bigger than those who lost thier life. I know I just pissed off a few in here it's o.k. because that is America and you will be pissed off at another I'm not the last. But don't let this event become bigger than our future don't let this past happening shape the way our country is going to be left to our children. We will soon hand over a country to new generation who wasn't alive on 9/11 so it will have not affected them. What we do now will.
If we shape our laws to take our freedoms those laws will surely take our childrens freedoms and if we force our will upon others now, then they will hold our children for those sins. What we as America do today will only reflect upon our children.

9/11 UNLEARN!

Thats the best thing I've read all day...

I was taught and try to live by... "if you don't have anything nice to say, then say nothing at all"...

so... now that I've sort of broken that rule...

Johnny and Dave, thanks for all the hard work you put into the ATS Mix shows. I appreciate you.

Also, thanks to everyone who was able to share thier stories with us.
