Never Forget

The political candidates are taking a break from verbally obliterating each other via campaign ads today in remembrance of the Sept. 11th attacks. The media oriented ceasefire is one of the many tactics being used to make Americans believe our potential supreme government officials are benevolent in their quest for world domination. In my opinion, the use of this date as an opportunity to sway voters vis a vi some type of community togetherness and/or camaraderie is a slap in the face of those who died in the attacks. As little as I care about political triathlons and the race to gain the blessings of the masses through elections and campaigning, I still think it's a travesty to see the loss of life as a tool to manipulate society. But I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion and mine just happens to be an opinion that poises all politicians to be conniving pieces of shit with hidden agendas and the ability to instill false hope. When Republicans and Democrats who both present media ads belittling and condemning one another during a campaign are seen holding hands and smiling for the cameras on a day when the United States took it's most devastating loss of all time, the only thing I see is true politics. And that's not what this day is about.

God bless those who perished in the attacks of Sept. 11th, as well as their families, and may they only be remembered in a way that is deserving to people who have shaped the morale of this nation in the most significant way imaginable.
