And what's sadder is when I hear people say "we need to move on" - I've actually seen comments to this effect. I remember how my mom used to talk about how she remembered what she was doing the day the Kennedys were shot and when MLK was shot. Every anniversary she would play Martin Luther King's speech on his birthday.

I'm extremely angry about 9/11 and with all those people who died went my respect for the those who were in power and may still be in power, and they know who they are. But I'll keep my comments to myself.

I agree 110% That was the qusetion of the day on a conservative talk show I listen to. "Should we remember or move on" I'll NEVER FORGET! I think some mean "lets keep the politicians out of it and make it about remembering the folks who gave their lives that day!

It makes my eye's water thinking of how for some time after 9/11 we weren't conservative or liberal, BLACK OR WHITE! WE WERE ALL PROUD AMERICANS!

It was a terrible day no doubt but saddest? For me that would have been JFK's funeral, followed by the Challenger accident and my divorce.

Pisses me off that they are JUST now agreeing that the dust from 9/11 is carcinogenic.


Insurance people, lawyers, politicians, car salesmen, realtors.. I am sure I forgot some of those that belong on the "scumbag" list.

being from nyc and having worked (doing courier work) in the towers.....it's still very much of an open wound for me. i suspect it will be always.

i wish they would have to stuck to the same architecture and rebuilt 'em exactly the same. THAT would have been a perfectly raised middle finger.

Those towers were built in 1975. They didn't stop using asbestos until 78. I deal with Asbestos abatement a LOT ACM's Asbestos Containing Materials were all in that building and most likely the cause of the problems survivors are having. As I type this I am listening and watching "Voices From The Towers" on the History Channel. Yes my eye's are watering and I have a lump in my throat the size of a baseball! I feel EXACTLY the way I felt at about noon this day 11 years ago! I am MAD AS HELL! I will contain myself but I will NEVER EVER FORGET! Funny on another channel they are talking about how they tracked down that AXIS OF EVIL and shot HIS @SS! :D

What saddened me the most about 911,

was witnessing people, who threw themselves out of top floor windows, because they felt or believed at that precise moment, how eminent their death was. Watching from afar, I could sense the bigger picture of human enigma...the desperation, the failed plan of human life, the desecration of all that was supposed to be a marvel of beauty within the realm of existence... all executed by the hands of evils

911 was a mockery of our pursuits under freedom. The perpetrators knew they could never have it for themselves...and like all jealous barbarians, they decided that we shouldn't have that freedom either.

Sadly, they sort of won... I mean , just look at airports now... Seriously impeding the will of many to travel... (A hit on freedom to manuever)
