I’ve known for decades that the rule of law is irrelevant here as well; no white male has any misconception about how the law treats him in terms of employment/promotions, higher education, or interracial disputes of any kind.

I felt terrible about the individuals lost on 9/11, living a few miles west of the WTC in a town that lost people, but at the same time felt like I was watching a foreign group attack another foreign country that I happened to be living in.

Your post has captured my feelings of profound sadness. There are times I feel like wearing a black arm band mourning the country we used to have.

On 9-11 I was consulting in Edison at a company; many employees had relatives at the WTC. There was a TV in the conference room, on all day tuned to the only channel left that still broadcast out of Secaucus, not the WTC. I still remember the sound of the big black helicopters, the only air craft in the sky. The NJ Turnpike was free for about a week; your money was given back when you handed in your ticket.

On average we 'lose' MORE than that EVERY DAY from CHOICE.
