I want to mourn...
Edited on Mon Sep-11-06 10:01 AM by Javaman
Being from NYC and having been personally effected by the events of that day, I can't to this moment watch any footage, photograph or video of the event. I can't listen to the sounds, the shouts, the screams, the crying or the horribly sad stories.

Given this admins* use of this tragedy as a political tool, I haven't been given the respect by this pResident* to properly mourn my/our loss.

For the last 6 years of this failed administration*, I have searched for the basic answer as to why I have come to truly loath and despise this crook*.

I hate the lies, I hate the stolen elections, I hate the killing, I hate all the things that are presented as fact only to be found out that, yet again, it was nothing more than bullshit.

My heart aches.

My dad passed away back in 2000. It was a very tough time for me, but I was allowed to mourn in peace. I was allowed to reflect upon his life and how much he meant to me. I was given that time.

With 9/11, right away, within hours, the media whores began to crank up the propaganda and refused to let up. This went hand in hand with the admins* exploitation of this human tragedy. The dust wasn't even settled and they began their message of fear and control.

We as a nation were still reeling from that days events. We were never given the opportunity to mourn without it being used for political gain or for a boost in some news ratings.

I think of the people I knew that died that day, I think of the people I know who were able to escape that day. I want to truly mourn those who died with the respect that they deserve, I want to hug my friends who lived through it with the respect and love they deserve.

The media blitz and the war drums began. The things that are/were truly important were swept away in a blur of propaganda.

I hate the moron* for many reasons, but the one thing that will always be at the core of why I detest him* more than any, is he* used my emotions as a tool to further his* agenda.

To me, that one thing, among all the other crimes he has committed makes me detest him* down to my very soul.

I miss my friends. And I just wish I had the chance to mourn them properly.

:cry:

1. When they started using 9/11 for every political venture they undertook
The * administration made an obscenity of the lives of the people lost. I don't mourn for those victims anymore I mourn for our country and their unwitting part in its demise.
