911: I will now speak heresy

[Tyler Durden]

The World Trade Center was hit on purpose by two planes, 3000 people died. TIME TO MOVE ON.

I won't even address the phony "Terrorism Issue," because there is none. There have been Three (count 'em: three) acts of terrorism on US territory in the last 50 years or so: Oklahoma City, WTC I and WTC II. We never say anything about OK and WTC I and never even put them on a "Terra" radar. So that angle is mostly moot.

3K people, plus the first responders who'll die from the aftermath. A Tragedy? Well, yes, of a sort and on a scale.

Over 3K soldiers have died in Iraq, plus HUNDREDS of thousands of Iraqis.
Tens of thousands died from the flu and its complications, and have been doing so ongoing for YEARS.
Tens of thousands died from traffic accidents. EVERY YEAR.
Thousands died from gun issues, and so on, in this country alone.
God knows how many died in NOLA.

HUNDREDS of thousands died from the Indonesian Tsunami.
HUNDREDS of thousands died in third world from earthquakes.
HUNDREDS of thousands died this month from HUNGER and AIDS in Africa.

Where's THEIR Telethon?

You're getting the drift here, aren't you?

The sort of ARROGANCE that creates a slaughter of the "Holy Innocents" sort of shtick around WTC II is not only ugly and narcissistic in the extreme, it's SICK. It infers a deranged equation about who's death is more tragic or diminishing than someone else's. In a more perfect society, people with that world view would be given head of line privileges at the Mental Health Clinic.

There is NOTHING patriotic about glorifying an incident where people get killed like WTC II. YES it's a waste, but a focal point for a sick sort of SIX YEAR LONG GRIEF FEST?? Good God, even the ancients got over the deaths of their God-Rulers in a season or two. What's next: we start BEATIFYING WTC II DEAD?

People, this serves one purpose now and one only: DISTRACTION. We won't get anyone back from WTC II, the war, or Interstate 94.

It's time: let the DEAD bury the DEAD, Mr. Finch.

Let remember the dead, but let us care for the LIVING: there is more profit in it.
