RIP to all the innocent people who lost their
lives on 9/11. I still cry when I take the time to stop and think about
what happened on that awful day. My memory isn't as sharp as it once
was, but I still remember the room I was standing in when
it happened, the images I saw, the conversations I had, and most of
what went down in the days that followed the attacks. I remember the
horror, fear, and confusion as much as the sense of manipulation I was
getting from U.S. media. I still remember that. I still remember. I
never forgot.
So, at the risk of offending those of you who believe
that this day is strictly about mourning, I'd like to try my hand at
contributing an addendum to some popular bumper sticker wisdom:
Always remember...
Never forget...
...this is the anniversary of when the events of that horrific day were
used to start senseless wars while our civil liberties were stripped
bit by bit. 12 years and going.
