My 9/11 fucking rant!
This day has been so completely bastardized by the fucking rightwing media and by our fucking mentally deficient politicians, that what every real meaning behind it won't be found on over produced over saturated over eulogized tv movies of the week or as the rest of the nation calls it "the news".

I will reflect upon the friends I lost that day on my own, with my own thoughts and prayers.

I don't need the full spangled banner stupidity of the heartless rating grubbing morons and media sycophants or the bottom feeding politicians to tell me how I should fucking feel or how I should fucking think or how I should fucking pay tribute to those that lost their lives 7 years ago today.

We live in a corrupt and crooked nation, period. The last piece of myself that I hold near and dear is my integrity, I will not compromise it by giving into the produced for tv sappy ceremonies that make money off the dead.

my sorrow is my own.

:rant:

1. They did the same thing with 12-7-41.

7. Denial of evidence in August, attack in the Fall or Winter.
This is why I spit on the J Edna Hoover building when I'm in DC - My Grandfather was a Pearl Harbor Survivor. Nice way to spend your 19th year on Earth, getting blown out of his bunk and pulling his friend's bodies out of the water amidst bombs and gunfire.

2. Amen - the day after one of my first thoughts was how 9/11
will be so politicized forevermore.
Let me add that any attempts at inquiry are shut down with all the politicized crap about terraism, we were attacked, blah, blah blah.
Because of the politicization we may never have a true inquiry and therefore this leaves us wide open for similar attacks.
#1 the basic cause of the attack was us having armed bases on their holy soil. Even Ron Paul points this out all the time. Yet if we even try to have a discussion about this it is a shouting match.
And the fucking TV.
I have gotten so I just hate this day.

3. Not that the GOP doesn't delight in it, but
the media wouldn't run this shit if it wasn't for a nation full of ghoulish perverts who eat it up.

4. So true Java.. makes you want to scream....
Especially when the "Official" version of 911 is no more believable than Alice-in-Wonderland. For the sake of sanity on this 911 day.. I won't even go there.....

5. I'm the only one in my dept who is not attending the
9/11 tm Memorial Service here at work. No, we have no direct connection to any of the events that day. No one who worked here perished in the attacks. We're not a first responder organization.

They've put a photo of one of the planes crashing into one of the towers on our intranet home page today. It offends me everytime I have to go there - which is frequently, unfortunately.

9. Great rant. K & R
I feel the same way. I refuse to watch any of the bullshit tv coverage of this. * and the other fucking criminals were warned repeatedly of a coming attack, they did NOTHing, and then proceeded to milk 9-11 for all it's been worth.

Instead of running their broadcasts from that day, how about showing how * decided to spend the original 9-11, reading to kids and not doing a damn thing.

A few days after 9-11, after the initial shock wore off, I told my partner that this was going to become a whole industry now. TV specials, books, and collector coins(!)

11. If all the media airwaves went down tomorrow..
I wonder what would happen to us emotionally. Would we find a way to look to ourselves again? We have become completely brainwashed and manipulated by the media. They tell us how to think, how to feel, and what our priorities and values are. Big Brother is here.
