A couple of balanced responses, or nearly so.
Criticizing the exploitative nationalistic over-remembrance ceremonies does not mean someone isn’t sympathetic to the actual victims or their loved ones left behind. One can still be appreciative of the immense bravery, and to some extent believe, they would do the same regardless of how they view Sept. 11th.
If you all care so much why don’t you go tear down Barona’s billboards, the ones upon which they are using twin towers catastrophe and massive amounts or red white and blue to enhance patronage of their gambling facilities. Why not slam some realtor or car salesmen down, for doing it….Maybe it’s not a big deal because they are just doing what everyone else from the NFL to the Army recruiting department is doing.
I guess, I just don’t agree with some people on what respect for the dead and living means.
