A Palestinian shows how a folded twenty dollar
actually it appears to be two twenty dollar bills
But that's because if I watch I'll get angry all over again and people will be unable to have a yseful me for two or three days while I'm attempting to contain it.
I save my anger for appropriate times and the anniversary of 3,000 innocent deaths is not a time for my anger. Instead of anger I think we need to remember something else on this day.
Author Unknown
TWO THOUSAND ONE, NINE ELEVEN (2001-911) Two thousand one, nine eleven
Three thousand plus arrive in heaven
As they pass through the gate,
Thousands more appear in wait
A bearded man with stovepipe hat
Steps forward saying, "Lets sit, lets chat"
They settle down in seats of clouds
A man named Martin shouts out proud
"I have a dream!" and once he did
The Newcomer said, "Your dream still lives."
Groups of soldiers in blue and gray
Others in khaki, and green then say
"We're from Bull Run, Yorktown, the Maine"
The Newcomer said, "You died not in vain."
From a man on sticks one could hear
"The only thing we have to fear.
The Newcomer said, "We know the rest,
Trust us sir, we've passed that test."
"Courage doesn't hide in caves
You can't bury freedom, in a grave,"
The Newcomers had heard this voice before
A distinct Yankees twang from Hyannisport shores
A silence fell within the mist
Somehow the Newcomer knew that this
Meant time had come for her to say
What was in the hearts of the five thousand plus that day
"Back on Earth, we wrote reports,
Watched our children play in sports
Worked our gardens, sang our songs
Went to church and clipped coupons
We smiled, we laughed, we cried, we fought
Unlike you, great we're not"
The tall man in the stovepipe hat
Stood and said, "Don't talk like that!
Look at your country, look and see
You died for freedom, just like me"
Then, before them all appeared a scene
Of rubbled streets and twisted beams
Death, destruction, smoke and dust
And people working just 'cause they must
Hauling ash, lifting stones,
Knee deep in hell, but not alone
"Look! Blackman, Whiteman, Brownman, Yellowman
Side by side helping their fellow man!"
So said Martin, as he watched the scene
"Even from nightmares, can be born a dream."
Down below three firemen raised
The colors high into ashen haze
The soldiers above had seen it before
On Iwo Jima back in '45
The man on sticks studied everything closely
Then shared his perceptions on what he saw mostly
"I see pain, I see tears,
I see sorrow -- but I don't see fear."
"You left behind husbands and wives
Daughters and sons and so many lives
Are suffering now because of this wrong
But look very closely. You're not really gone.
All of those people, even those who've never met you
All of their lives, they'll never forget you
Don't you see what has happened?
Don't you see what you've done?
You've brought them together, together as one.
With that the man in the stovepipe hat said
"Take my hand," and from there he led
Three thousand plus heroes, Newcomers to heaven
On this day, two thousand one, nine eleven
Clinton did'nt bother watching..who gives a rats ass?
Perhaps ABC realizes that the majority of Americans, those who elected George W. Bush, don't watch their left-biased news and opinion shows. So they decided to make something that would show less bias, hoping to improve their ratings. But it backfired when the Democrat-Stalinists said, "too many facts, we want lies" about what happened on Clinton's watch. Clinton's Watch: getting serviced by Monica in the Oval Office while the terrorists attacked U.S. interests repeatedly and planned 9/11/01.
--- As for Clinton, he didn't bother watching the movie that angered so many people who once worked for him.---
He couldn't be bothered to watch what he and his minions tried so hard to keep from us. There cannot be enough contempt for these people and all they represent.
The 'old media' still believes we get our milk from a milkman and we read the newspaper to get our 'news'. Recording devices on TV's are a thing of the future... and would be way too complicated for their viewing audience. ;)
Yeah, I also recorded the show and watched the Giants and Colts. I'm a lifelong Giants' fan, and it was a great (although disappointing) game. That having been said, I no longer can sit through 3 hours of commercials just to have the opportunity to watch one hour of football (over half of which is consumed by the huddle, the lining up, and the dancing around before the ball is snapped.)
I am spoiled by using TIVO and my HD DVR to record stuff and then blast through the commercials. Maybe, next week, I'll record the game and watch the recording, and use the extra three hours to watch a movie or two.
In a way i kinda believe it...
I mean he wasn't paying attention while in office, so why would he pay attention now?
ba dum ching
---A Palestinian shows how a folded twenty dollar bill appears to show the World Trade Center buildings on fire. ---
And the Palis wonder why their lives are complete crap...
Actually it says nothing. Twice as many people watched the football game as watched the ABC 9/11 show alone, add in the people that watched the CBS show and 9/11 edges the NFL in the primary broadcast networks. Haven't seen any numbers for the various cable shows but I'm sure if you add all the 9/11 shows together (and remember there were plenty, Sunday night, even Friday and Saturday and still more coming tonight) they stomp the football game.
I admit that I was one of those millions who chose to tune in to the Battle of the Mannings over the ABC POS. Good game, too.
I disagree.
The truth is, I caould care less about a "DocuDrama" where the details are changed or omitted to make the story better. The Discovery Channel did an excellent job of running it all down, without having to insert fiction. I watched them all. There are plenty of documentaries (a dozen, at least) that accurately depict all the incidents related to 9/11 from Osama as a kid up to present day.
If the facts had been portrayed accurately and completely, then there would be no way to challenge the Mini-Series by the Dems. As it was, the producers supplied plenty of ammo to shoot it up, and I lost all interest.
Bring on the Football!!!
Sounds like a case of sour grapes. Can't Clinton find any better spokesman than a sniveling wuss like Carson?
Works out just fine anyway. The damage is done. :)
Has his priorities straight, as usual--his personal enjoyment over the terrorist threat.
Agree completely with your comments about the Discovery Channel. They did an excellent job. Why would I spend hours watching someone's spin on who to blame? No thanks.
Between plays in the ball game, I popped over to the CBS program which I had already seen before. At least it portrayed reality.
People in this country are being lulled to sleep by TV,
sports events, etc. - anything to avoid confronting reality.
"Bread and circuses' - like the last days of the Roman empire.

This from someone calling themselves Beethoven fan? Kinda funny, doncha think? Doubt that listening to a Beethoven piano sonata is going to fix what ails Western civilization.
Diversions are not always a bad thing, as you clearly (from your handle) realize.
Tonight's the same thing and I will probably get a chance to see all 5 hours in one day this coming weekend. I'm also spoiled with my DVR.
