Since I'm at work, I can't take the time to actually sit and watch the full coverage of the reading of the names of the 9/11 victims.
I was able to spend 10 minutes watching the coverage. One of the things that struck me about the victims was the cross section of people that were killed on that day.
White, black, hispanic, asian, men, women, children, gay, straight, bisexual, salaried, commissioned, hourly paid, US citizen, UK citizen, Mexican, Indian, Canadien, French, Italian, German, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Nigerian; I'm sure I missed a few.
My point is this: everyone was attacked that day. The terrorists made no discrimination in who they killed, regardless of the "message" being sent, or who it was supposedly sent against.

I noticed that yesterday as I looked at the families when the names were read off. the mix of ethnicites and cultures was quite diverse.

Unfortunately people brought their political agendas to the site. While the families were reading the names off of loved ones, there were people screaming at each other about whos fault 9/11 and people saying it was an inside job and what not. I wanted to go over and slap those rotten fuckers. They could have waited until after the families had had their time. It was very disrespectful.

Other than that, it was nice. I think I was expecting more. I was definately expecting a lot more people.

You Couldn't hear them on TV Selwen. Thank goodness for that.
I woulda helped you slap them, if I were there.
;)

It's the same fucking nut jobs that try to rally outside of a fallen soldier's funeral. It's ridiculous that some people can't respect the dead.

Why respect the dead, when you can make a political statement, instead?
