Remembering 9/11/01

In memory of all of the people who died on this day, and for the friends and family they left behind. My thoughts and prayers are with them all.
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

Really was a sad day. My prayers also went up and still go up for the families. Especially of those who jumped, one of which is a net friend of mine. To this day she still refuses to enter skyscrapers or go any higher than the 10th floor of a building.
May God rest all their troubles in Him.

(I was going to post something irreverent here, but then I remembered I had something I could post that tried to be sincere and failed hilariously, and any feelings of antagonism could be blamed on the writer.)

Maybe one day it'll stop being used as a political tool but I somehow doubt it.

It's sad, yes, but it's nothing compared to the number of innocent people who die in conflict every week. People like to ignore that until it happens to someone in their country. While the actions of the terrorists disgust me, the general apathy of the Western world disgusts me more.

My thoughts go out to all the victims of human injustice.

And the cruel indifference of mother nature while you're at it?

Also, the haphazard stumbling of human interaction with one another and our perilous environment. God bless the victims of tea-cosy accidents.

I didn't mention it because it wasn't quite as relevant, but obviously I am unhappy about that too. Of course, it isn't our fault directly (and therefore not in the same kind of league) but if we can do more to protect people from the callous mistress that is nature then we must, and I don't think anyone would deny that.

This.

A lot of terrible things happen in the world every day. 50 people will die of in Pakistan, or wherever, and the world doesn't stop and remember, it just keeps moving. Are western lives that much more valuable?

You're the finest mind of your generation. And I don't say that properly frequently.

Better two day's late than never. Not much I can say about my experience. I was in 3rd grade (I'm pretty sure) and I didn't realize the enormity of what was happening until quite awhile later. Still, my thoughts and prayers go out to those who suffered because of this.
