9/11

Weaving along a graveyard footpath -- dusty and unkempt, bristle-dry grass on either side, too long and snapped like slender, desiccated straws by some passing beast of the night -- I spied a curious headstone sunken into the ground as though a chute into the underworld had been plugged to stop the world from draining away into the abyss. Unable to resist its gravitational draw like a planet falling into a passing black hole, I drew closer. Kneeling and sweeping aside the collected dust and leaves of years which had composted onto its face, I read the following:

The United States of America
Born July 4, 1776
Died September 11, 2001

"The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave"

The only people I see remembering it even happened are here, and one FB page called "Thomas Sowell's Glasses" is posting memes.
Otherwise, crickets.

Looks like we all forgot.

On cue.

The second the uncontrolled withdrawal took place, I reckon.
 
9/11 Never Forget

Never forget this day, who we lost, and the reason why. Because policy always matters

I think I recall that the majority here also said that would happen as well.
 
Allegedly.

public law 107-89 says it is patriot day. I was at Arlington for a visit week before. havnt been east since and never plan too. Since Im greatest patriot seems odd my day is selected as day saudis declared war on eastern america

The marina down the street did their annual tasteless fireworks display, so at least they remember.
 
I'm a pretty deep thinker.

I don't get much out of cliches and slogans.

If I'm overthinking this, please tell me.
I wasn't clear enough, my mistake. I was talking about why we were attacked.
