9/11 thread thingy

[Meyer Lansky]

It's been made into a day about two buildings falling yet there is a memorial to every person who died that day at Ground Zero...

YOU and the rest of the United States may have forgotten, but we New Yorkers have not.

It's been made into a day about two buildings falling yet there is a memorial to every person who died that day at Ground Zero...

YOU and the rest of the United States may have forgotten, but we New Yorkers have not.

Who is YOU?

I remember, and the loss of lives are a direct result of the attacks, in the war brought on afterwards, and the total rape of our rights as citizens are all vastly much more devastating than two buildings falling.

And to think that had the government not shown its incompetency in ignoring warnings those people would most likely still be here today.

[Meyer Lansky]

Who is YOU?

Obviously not you.

If I was speaking to anyone specific, I would have quoted them. I was speaking in general terms for a reason; those who I were speaking to know who they are. There's no reason for you to get offended by my claim if it does not apply to you.

YOU and the rest of the United States may have forgotten, but we New Yorkers have not.

Indeed, New York certainly hasn't forgotten...at least not most of it, it seems. It really is kinda sad to see so many that remember 9/11 for the towers.

most people don't care about the towers here; they just keep on talking about family members/friends that were involved 0:

They will be building a Freedom tower, and a park behind it for the memorial.
