Subject: RE: Song memorial for September 11
Jeeze, you guys sure do wrap around the axles nicely, doncha?
I'll tell you honestly that I would just as soon NOT spend a lot of time remembering 9/11, except for the brave people who moved in to try and help. They're something to remember. I will never forget the cowardice and insanity that started it, nor the pain it caused all over the world, but to invest in commemoration and put my attention back onto the big splash in world attention caused by Osama's Boxcutter Brigade -- I dunno, I think not. It is not as though they were striking a blow for human rights and freedom.
But such remembrance as I will undertake, I'll do in my own space and time, to my own tune. Don't see much point in reinforcing a massive trauma.
Regards,
A
