Reply #54: If you've read my OP ... [View All]

... and I'm assuming you have, it is more than obvious that I am talking about ONE DAY, THAT day - nothing more, nothing less.

If you've read anything more into it than that, then we have been talking at cross-purposes all along.

Millions of Americans WERE distracted that one day. That doesn't mean they were distracted the day before, nor the day after, nor the many months and years that have followed.

Each of us who lived through 9-11 will remember it all our lives, each in our way. MY WAY is to remember the heroism, the courage, the selflessness of those whose only thought was the welfare of others.

If you consider that to be "dropping all reason", that's the way you see it. But I don't.

I think it was a twenty-four hour period when reason - along with compassion, responsibility, and a sense of humanity - took precedence over all other considerations.

Those who perished on that day were, IMHO, victims of a crime - a crime that can be laid at the feet of this so-called president, his administration, and those who saw it as a means to an end. That doesn't alter the fact that the victims are the first priority at a crime scene, not the perpetrators.
