Re: Don't ever forget
Most people don't like to commerate unhappy events and is why it doesn't get press like it used to. Our president also politically milked this topic and since his popularity rating is rather low, I think a lot of people are sick of hearing it over and over again. Most importantly, like it or not, 9/11 will fade until it reaches obscurity. Here is why: dates we forget...
April 12...Our Civil War began on this day in 1861.
June 28...WWI begins in 1914.
Nov 11...The War to End All Wars, ends, in 1918. We still celebrate this day every year and most people don't even know it...it was called Armistice Day, but we call it Veteran's Day now.
Dec 7...more people remember this day than the others, but it also happens to be a very popular Hollywood theme...Pearl Harbor.
Nov 22...JFK was killed in 1963
How about July 20...1969 Moon landing.
Even the 4th of July is even wrong...they completed The Declaration of Independence on July 2nd, not the 4th.
We remember very little outside of what has happened in our lifespan. Our kids and grandkids won't remember because we don't remember our past generations. 9/11 is insignificant compared to the American Revolution or Civil War...most high school kids can't even tell you the difference between the American Revolution or Civil War. We remember because it was significant to us, but it won't mean nearly as much to people who weren't touched by it. We remember, but like it or not, it will continue to fade every year. Don't be too frustrated because it has happened to every single generation.

Re: Don't ever forget
That is why I tried to limit my comments . If you buy into the gov't explanation of the events , then you may "know" what happened and I guess you can move on . But , too many unanswered ????? The steel beams were never inspected , shipped away quickly to be melted in (undisclosed location) . NO one has been convicted for the crime . Payoffs given to family members to not sue (if payoff is accepted) . I just to remind people as well not to forget .
The 9-11 report does NOT even include WTC 7 falling . A building in Spain burned for over 8 hours and is STILL standing . Do some research on the web then think and decide for yourself . The Twin Towers were designed to take a direct hit from an airplane !
It really doesn't matter what someone says , cause no matter what side of the debate your on , the other side will dis-credit you.

For any one who believes the conspiracy theories, I ask you to read this.

But people will believe what they want to believe.

Re: Don't ever forget
With all due respect, you sound like chicken little. You're implying that the US government brought down the towers? Research on the web? If its on the internet, that means its true? C'mon brother, We just can't face facts that we got defeated by some crafty bastards, who got lucky. Now this nice little tribute thread must be deleted. Rob, Chris, or Eric-please do the honorable thing.
