In about 6 hours I shall attend church. It’s been 7 years since the 911 attacks and still the rage burns. I want to find one of them, those who did this to my country, and I want to kill them. The part up until the actual killing I’m kind of open to negotiation on, but the outcome must not be in doubt — dead men to not do it again, that’s my goal.

Bet my pastor doesn’t see this question coming…

That guy, falling… I just can’t grasp it. It’s so far beyond anything I can imagine…. What a choice — burn to death, hoping smoke inhalation takes you before the heat kills you, or jump to escape the flames to a certain death and several seconds to think about it?

That’s not a choice. That’s trying to live a few seconds more, those few seconds it takes to fall that number of feet to the ground.

The dead, in the gas chambers at Dachau and Treblinka, they were found in piles, a pyramid that reached almost to the source of the gas. We’ll do anything to live a couple more seconds, to continue to live…

Is it so wrong, or even immoral, to wish death upon those who perpetrated these acts?

If so, I guess I can live with that. Some folks didn’t.

Never forgive, never forget.

I am asking you to hold Christine Lee Hansen in your memory. She is the youngest person to die as a result of the terrorist attacks of 9-11. She was flying to Disney World with her parents on United 175. Her father was on the phone with her grandfather, holding her in his arms as the plane impacted the World Trade Center. She was 3.

Bud Flanagan was the former CINCLANT fleet (back when we could call them CINCs), retired and was working for Cantor Fitzgerald in One WTC . On 9/11, his wife did something most unusual — offered to make him breakfast, which put him about an hour late. On his way to the office, he could see the gaping hole from the first impact. He could also tell, that his floor was above the impact, and therefore his staff was trapped by the fire. He was nearly in the door of his building, headed to help them, when the second airliner hit the other building. Except for that breakfast, ……..

It is amazing to me that even on a day of what should have been reverential thought and sharing of memories – people like Flippty insist on spewing their BDS all over the place.

Look up appropriate in the dictionary, please.
