but not a gun-loving nut case

Why do "gun-loving" and "nut case" always appear in the same sentence??? BARF

BUMP to NEVER FORGET!

You know this article is very important to Americans who have never exp. disaster/terror and cannot comprehend any of this yet. I for one who lives in a very rural community with peace have not yet been able to absorb this nightmare.

“We’ll never get to see the show!” the woman wailed.

Good heavens, what appalling words. I HOPE she is ashamed of her callousness.

I know that the descriptions are as discreet as they can be and still convey the horror.

I have been praying for the volunteers, firefighters, and especially the survivors and bystanders who saw "things no one should ever see."

The volunteers and firefighters probably have received some training regarding this kind of disaster, but those poor people who just had it happen before their eyes need special help to deal with what they saw.

Not unlike the passengers on The Titanic wanting to be seated in lifeboats by class. (Yeah, I know that was the movie, but it was pretty realistic).

Some people go through life completely clueless.

“These teachers,” Hudnut said, “seized the teachable moment.”

Barf.

Reminds me of Penis Jennings, who was grinding his political axe within minutes of the tragedy.

"I saw things no one should ever see"....No. Some of us need to see these things so that all of us never forget the horror that evil men can do. My son, my wife, two brothers and I all saw things that we wish we had not. My son, who survived GZ and I spent much of the next two days digging in the rubble. He saw more than anyone else I know who survived but he had the strength to go back into what could only be described as hell. I have a picture of him at GZ on the 13th. He has that Guadalcanal look. I have no idea what my face said after I had been digging under the surface of the pile. I do know what visits me many times a day since then. I wish that we had been spared this horror but, I am not sorry I saw what I did. We, my family and I, will be ok. We will not go soft on evil, ever. I hope that those who did not experience 9.11 up close never soften either.

“Write this down,” said a redheaded man with a thick accent. “This is a wake-up call for the rich. Be sure to write that down.”

People like this piece of marxist trash believe the world will be a perfect place when everyone is as poor and miserable as him.

I know of what you speak. My next door neighbor worked at GZ until last weekend. It is a look those outside of the City cannot understand.

God bless you and yours.

Get a grip!

Who mentioned 16-year old girls? Only you.

Anyone believing that pacifism is "OK" at the present juncture is a certifiable moron. And cut the "fascist" crap - I am hardly a leftist, which is the area of the political spectrum occupied by fascism.

If 16 year olds are acting like Nazis, it is due to the brainwashing they have received in the government re-education camps.

Nini Halkett asked her 11th-grade AP American-history class why terrorists hate us so much. “Because we get involved in foreign affairs when it’s not our place,” said Cami, 16, “and because we have an elitist attitude.”

I wonder if this kid has also been instructed to believe that Oklahoma City was due to Federal gov oppression and the Una-bombings were due to people advancing technology. Perhaps the Bundy murders were due to young women being attractive, the Dahmer murders were due to young men being tasty, the Holocaust was a result of a worldwide Jewish conspiracy, and Pearl Harbor was a result of US imperialism.

Is this what Kissinger calls "narcissistic masochism"? Or is it the residual of an 70-year Soviet-fueled effort through the malleable American Left to promelgate American self-hatred and demoralization?
