Finally 9/12

I was thinking about 9/11 myself. What I came up with is this, and it is my opinion, no one has to agree with me.

It's been five years, for the last four this day has come and gone leaving me with little feeling and emotion. I feel horrible and awful that it happened that those people died and the families lost loved ones, hell I watched it on tv and was numb by the end of the day. I however refuse to jump on the whole "patriotic bs bandwagon".

Due to the five year mark the media jumped on board and made a "HUGE" deal out of it, some of us want to just quietly grieve and not see it everytime you turn on the tube.

When it comes to security and do I feel safe or any safer, nope not one bit. Sort of like Matt mentioned they are willing to die to kill us. There is no amount of money and security that can stop someone from destroying any one part of us or our country again. It is no excuse to be in Iraq, because that what it is in my opinion an excuse to invade another country and go on a gun ho killing tyrade. All in the name of 3,000 that were killed. I am not buying it, if that makes me unpatriotic then bite me and so be it. To me its a disgrace to drag all 3,000 into a war.

I blame the media for disclosing a lot of things that should really be kept under wraps for obvious reasons. Let them find it on the internet but don't play a part in the play and then look wide eyed when it gets used against us full out and they start ad-libbing.

Finally, I fly a lot and while I appreciate the upped security its really rather a hassle. I am not able to bring on my friggin chapstick, chapstick for gods sake, I mean come on. Be a little sensible about this stuff.
Thats my 5 cents instead of 2.
