Tomorrow will be six months. Seeing this thread brings back the idea I had many times in the last few months.
On 911 and the following couple of weeks it was hard to "guess" what the causes were, what made the Mass Murder possible, and where it would all lead.
Lots of knowledgeable people contributed; some were wildly off base and some were right on.
Wouldn't it be great to have all the related threads on one CD for the record?
I certainly would buy at least one.
What do you think of the idea? As many threads as can fit on one CD starting around 5:50 PST 9/11/2001.
Would collecting those be hard to do?
It should sure be a great fundraiser, no?
I still have difficulty rereading these threads, but they should be kept as a lasting memorial. It shows the immediate reaction of freepers, how we grieved together, how we got angry together, and how we're beginning to recover.
I still get a sick feeling in my stomach knowing that I was the second person--and probably only by milliseconds--to name bin Laden as the perpretrator, and a sense of irony as some people tried to dissuade me from naming him.
I have received several suggestions to record these permanently. It is perhaps easiest to ensure that the FR servers always maintain the links. But I will look into it.
