I know I sure as hell am. I get how we should "never forget" what happened but the actual event seems cheapened by the media, the public, and OF COURSE the politicians du jour.
We started being fed this shit a month ago (if not longer) and will probably hear about the countless circle jerk memorial services for another month (if not longer) - all while forgetting that Americas reaction to the events of one day that saw near 3,000 people die was more destructive and costly to our country than the actions of a handful of crazy fruitcake bastards.
In the 10 years since we have become a parody of ourselves. Each years kumbayaa moment becomes more grandiose than the year before. We listen and weep as our Presidents (current and past) reflect on how our "freedom and democracy" were attacked that day, yet sugar coat our reaction as being something other than what it truly was - a god damn temper tantrum. And TEN YEARS LATER people are STILL dying. America finds itself in seemingly un-ending wars in the middle east and a near bankrupt economy at home. We find our neighbors at odds and borderline homicidal because of radical divides in our political differences. The political leaders that we elect have anything but our best interests at heart. Corporate greed is turning citizens into indentured slaves.
But I'M the bad guy for not believing in "Mr. Hope and Change" any more.
People need to wake up from their halcyon daze and take back the power we once had. We must remain a thorn in the sides of those we oppose. We need our message in the limelight. As much as we have this 9/11 "feel good" moments we have shoved up our ass every year.
