I know that this will piis everyone off and I would not doubt getting me kicked off here, but I am sick of all this 9/11 stuff.
Iam tired of every single thing being tied into it and every other story on teh news being someway related to it.
ENOUGH ALREADY - Move on with LIFE!!!!
This stuff happens all over the world everyday and they get on with LIFE.

Don't worry, I won't be kicking anyone off for voicing such an opinion, so long as it doesn't demean or trivialize those directly affected.
In a way, it's not much different from a sports team wearing black stripes on their uniforms following the death of a teammate. Everyone looks for something to rally around, be it for unity or inspiration, and they often cling to it long after the emotion has dissipated for most. It's not really for those of us who don't feel the emotion to judge those who do, as emotion isn't really something that can be reasoned.

There are a couple of reason's things get tied to 9/11 as often as they are. First off it was a huge event in history. Probably the second biggest historical event of my lifetime (behind the night the Berlin Wall came down). And with it so fresh in our minds it's human nature to tie things to this event. Also with the tragedy centered in New York City, the center of the news making media. Now I don't want to go blaming the media for making this story bigger than it is, as so often is the case. Simply the sky line that reporters and news executives see every moring on their drive to work has been changed and that keeps this event on thier minds. Not to mention the fact that they all probably either were affected personally of know someone close to them that was.
Living in the mid west I sometimes find myself wishing they'd drop this too, but it happened it affected millions of us and it will be a while before we go a day without hearing something about 9/11 on the news. I suggest you try to be patient. _________________ Time is the fire in which we burn |
