Well, maybe one day you will decide to tell her the rest of the story.....
Like how there were several occasions in the nine months prior that there were just as many put options placed on the airlines.
Like how Larry Silverstein's insurance policy wasn't the first time the WTC had carried insurance against terrorism.
Like how the insurance policy had not even been issued by 9/11. Only the binder had been written.
Like how the proceeds from the policies won't begin to cover the costs of the rebuilding.
Like how he has had to continue to pay the 120 million a year in rent for the property, when it isn't generating ANY revenue.
Maybe when you tell her the complete story, you will understand why she got upset. Then again, maybe not. Those who share your viewpoint are rarely interested in the full story.

I know that feeling only too well. I have to keep my mouth shut about everything to my family and people around me. Some believe me and get this fear factor going on and say they can't do anything about it. Some want to play ostrich and think that they can hide from it and want to run away. Those are looking for a way out. Some are in complete denial and treat me like I am crazy. I think the ones that bother me the most are the ohh well attitude. Everything you say they have this ya but ohh well. As long as it doesn't bother me, as long as I get get through the day, as long as I have food etc. Ohh well it doesn't matter.

Gee, you must have missed the part about the property not generating any revenue (RENT). There have not been any tenants to pay him rent since Sept 2001...and he has paid close to 1.5 billion out to the PA. I think I will stick with reality.

What do you mean "think for themselves"? So what are you calling people that don't agree with you?

You've been fed a bunch of mistruths for a lot longer than 10 years...
The US military is invincible
The US intelligence agencies know everything that goes on
The US government is highly efficient in a crisis...

And of course, the biggest thing for me was the fact that 6 weeks prior to 9/11 - Larry Silverstein lease owner of the world trade center signed a policy that covered terrorist acts against the buildings with a payout of 3.5 billion dollars in the event losing the center. He even had the audacity to file two claims, and got it - getting $8 billion.
