See I kind of think it is harder for us on the west coast to really understand (unless of course you lost someone). I mean, we couldn't do anything. I felt so incredibly useless on the west coast.

I think I got a little desensitized just during that time frame. The news just kept showing the same images over and over and over again. (The problem is that the AZ news channels tend to do this over everything, just last week we had an illegal immigration march and that was ALL they could talk about).

Don't get me wrong though, I still cry. I bought the CNN Tribute DVD (my dad thought I was nuts, but I explained that as someone who wants to teach History, this would eventually be something I have to teach and I might have a resource, what better than CNN). I remember the first time I watched it. My brother had just gotten home from boot camp 2 months prior. He hadn't seen anything regarding the towers (9-11 happened while he was in boot and all the Army would let them know is what happened, they had no access to the news reports or papers). He watched it with me. He was in shock. And of course I was crying (kind of like I am now). It was a very numbing experience because I told him "that's how we were last year".

I know I'll cry at this movie but I still want to see it (along with the Oliver Stone one). Whether I pay 10 bucks to see it is a whole other issues (that's one of the reasons I really don't go see movies anyways, the cost).
