Talking about your feelings and emotions is the best way to heal. I still feel as if a great number of those who were affected grieved for a while, and then just bottled up their emotions without fully coming to terms with what had happened. I suppose I did too to an extent because for years I had not even given 9/11 a second thought until tonight, and now I realized through my tears earlier this evening that there was still some unresolved emotions within me as well.
ScranBarre, and those who are interested in the original purpose of this thread:
This is an awesome site. Right after 9/11 a Canadian woman built these snow sculptures honoring the firefighters. They are quite extraordinary.
Is that supposed to have some sort of rational meaning?
Defensive? No, my friend, more like insulted that you would have the arrogance of assuming some exalted sense (and thereby delusional) of self perception that you have some greater reverence for those events than others.
That was seriously beautiful seeing not only an angel comforting one of our heroes in uniform in his time of need but also seeing our neighbors to the North comforting us in our time of need. One thing that never ceased to amaze me was how chivalrous, compassionate, and grief-stricken the entire world was by that senseless and tragic day, not just the U.S. I can recall seeing images of people on different continents praying for us, weeping, etc., and it made me all the more proud to live in a global village.
You could start a thread on the diatery habits of the emu and it would end up as a Bush Bash in this forum.
I'm by no means the largest proponent of the Bush Administration (considering I voted Democratic on 11/4), but this is neither the time nor place to bring our president into the fray. The people who still think that he somehow had a role in this (i.e. the conspiracy theorists) ought to be 100% ashamed of themselves to imply that our leader would be complicit in the deaths of thousands of innocent people. He may have fumbled our economy into a rather severe recession, but a "murderer" he is not.
I find it interesting that those farthest away from the events of 9/11 have the temerity to hold themselves up better than those who were far closer.
A new strand of chicken hawk.
Excuse me?
