one last stab at keeping my mancard; i love heroism as much as the next guy, have occasionally acted selflessly, but haven’t had an opportunity to put it all on the line. All males with testosterone love tales of bravery and heroism and like to see themselves as heroes or potential heroes. and if that is what commemorating 9-11 was about, I’d have no problem with it.
But the essential narrative does not seem to be one of individual bravery and triumph.
i guess we are all free to celebrate it as we see it.
but to say it has nothing to do with war or race or religion? sorry…I’d have to ignore reality to really believe that. Or even economics–it’s the twin towers the heart of capitalism.
here’s a sick thought; people were ok with wall street in 01. what if the attack and the wall street deaths occurred arounda time when hatred toward wall streeters was running much higher?
