9-11 Overkill

Yes, the 10th anniversary of 9-11 is looming.  Every media outlet is chomping at the bit to rehash every second of the burning, collapsing buildings complete with the hopeless bastards jumping out of windows for network ratings.  Yes, 9-11 was shitty.  Yes, it sucked.  Do we need to relive it?  Not in the detail we are capable of.  I can already see it.... hours upon hours of "where were YOU when you heard of the news of the World Trade Center being attacked?"

(sappy violin music plays to snapshots of victims and their families - slo mo clips of buildings collapsing - dusty faces of pedistrians complete with battered, dusty American flags in the background)

Enough.  Get pissed, America.  Don't sit around whimping and whining like the 'feel-sorry-for-me' epidemic that has this country paralyzed and looking for somebody to blame/sue/get a fat $ settlement.  Shit happens.  Daily.  We are not immune.
