Here is what happened on September 11, 2001:
16,000 children starved to death.
12,000 people died from AIDS.
5,500 people died from diarrhea.
3,200 people died from malaria.
3,000 people died from measles.
2,819 people died in the attacks on the WTC.
Perspective is everything.

To shed tears just because it happened a little closer to home would be hypocritical. It didn't happen to me or anybody around me. It hasn't affected my life much (oh no I had to get a passport and wait 30 minutes longer at the airport). I just don't give a **** about 2819 people when worse things happen to more innocent people
every single day. Where is the outrage? Where are the memorials? Where are the CNN specials?
