What difference does it make if she started this thread on 9/11...at *gasp* 9:01 am. What difference does it make if she started it at 9:11 am?
There's a point where sensativity goes overboard.
Plus, if we DO stop the world every 9/11, then we've given the terrorists exactly what they wanted.

I'm in full agreement with Alpha on this one....I don't think a day has went by since 9/11 that we haven't heard about 9/11. I was actually out of the country for work on 9/11 and it was terrifying to have to take a plane back when the airports were re-opened. The airports were silent.
Sensitivity has gone overboard....when people like that lady that has been making the rounds on the talk shows that wants everyone to feel sorry for her because she blew through almost $5 million and now complaining she is broke after spending $250,000 on a pool and $16,000 on two yorkshire terriers...I think back to the $300 that I gave to the Red Cross, and how I had bills I had to pay, but I was thinking about the stay at home moms that would have a house payment the next month, or others whose income earner had died...not about someone who hired an interior decorator and decided that spending millions on her home would make her feel better.
Now they want $500,000 Million for a memorial?
Not a $1.00 will come from me.
