Now those damn "rascist" Canadian hockey players are paying homage to the "3,000 wealthy Americans" who died that day with apatch on their jerseys!!
What the hell are they thinking??

September 11th oh come on Transplant I am "over it"

I know I shouldn't post this because it might stir some feelings up but I have to (and I mean this with regards to the people who suffered directly from September 11th). That day it felt like a family member died, or at least a good family friend died. I did not know the people that did die but when you read about the stories of the people who helped save others getting murdered such as firemen and police officers and even ordinary businessmen and women, it made me personally feel as though I knew someone, and these coward terrorists killed someone I cared about. Sure this might have something to do with myself hoping to become part of a police force in the future, but you know what I think it has more to do with my honest compassion.
The question I have to ask of these people is why should I get over it? If anyone has ever had a family member or a friend die prematurally you would know it takes years, hell even decades for the people affected to at least get on with their lives and even then it always feels as though something is missing. That is the way that I feel, and I would imagine a great number of Americans also feel.
