I can tell you already I'm going to get in soooo much trouble for writing this blog. Just so you all know I have a bad habit of misrepresenting what I really mean to say by saying something silly (what I mean is, it comes out wrong).
Aren't you all kind of sick of hearing about this whole 9/11 thing? Don't get me wrong - this particular terrorist attack ranks right up there with one of the worlds most horrific events. But really are the terrorists winning by how paranoid everyone sounds during this time of year? Does anyone know the date of the whole Pearl Harbor thing? Does Rememberance Day get this much publicity? Even during Easter you don't hear any public announcements that the day only occurs because Jesus Christ was crucified and then rose from the dead. Granted 9/11 was only five years ago but honestly I never heard of the anniversary for the Oklahoma City bombing. I'm being completely incencitive aren't I? My opinion is that - yes, we all know that it happened, how could anybody forget it? There should be a ceremony at ground zero and of course a mention in the news and radio, etc., but do we need a week of movies and addresses to instill even more fear into people? Now, I feel I must say that I do not know all of the politics behind everything that is said and done in the states and so my opinion could definately be completely out of line. And of course I would probably feel differently if it was my family and friends that were involved but today just being me, this is my opinion. You all hate me now, right?
On a lighter and slightly less serious note - Big Brother ends tomorrow. Although I will be sad that it is ending it's probably a good thing (only because I'll come up with something else to obsess about in my blogs).
I have nothing else to write about. I think that I've probably gotten myself in enough trouble already tonight so I'll keep the rest of my obnoxious opinions to myself (or at least until next time).

Pearl Harbor was December 7, 1941! And I do agree to some extent, that the event is overly publicized in comparison to other major anniversary dates. But the US is still a country at war, and 9/11 is the event that began this war. The political outrage and unrest in the US is so extreme these days because the war is still going on but it is no longer a "War on Terrorism" as the president originally declared. It's a war for $$$ and resources and oil. And I think that's why it is plastered all over every media outlet on that particular day.
Point well made. Maybe, I'm not so disappointed in the awareness that this day brings about the war and terrorism but more the movies and what not that have been put out. To my count there were five different docudramas aired yesterday, not to mention two others that I have seen on movie central and the two movies recently released in theatres recently. Isn't that over doing it? Who makes the money that all these films bring in? Also, I retract my previous statement about the Presidential addresses. The US definately has the right to know where their country stands with all of this.
I completely agree with you on that one. I'm not really into watching Hollywood turn this into a money making scheme. that's not fair and kind of disgusting, actually. The whole topic is just so controversial that so many people forget the real victims. A lot of heroes were made that day and they shouldn't be exploited. Well, the good news is that we don't have to hear about it until next year now!
You know what I think! I think that I kindof agree with you...how can these people ever start to heal when every year they are on talk shows, radio shows, newspaper stories rehashing the story? However, I am not insensitive and I cannot imagine if my family would have been affected...I just sometimes have the suck it up and move on cause life isn't worth wasting on mourning the past-something that cannot be changed.
