Bill, it wasn't so much your thoughts that I was referring to, but rather the snarky way you formulated them. Something many on this site have been slapped down for. If moderators are not held to the same standard as the members, I guess that's your choice.

I agree 100%, I should have known better, and my post was partially a kneejerk reaction. But, it's out there, if I delete it, or the thread as a whole, then it becomes self serving as a cover up. Something I am not willing to ever be labeled as. Regardless, I am human just like the rest of you, and this thread shows it, good, bad, or otherwise.

Not all things that should never be forgotten won't be pleasant memories to anyone, however, if we don't remember them we won't be able to keep them from happening again, and again, and-------

You want to show patriotism, and honor those that gave their lives in the wars, you want to honor those who lost their lives in the attacks of 9/11 (remember the Pentagon and Flight 93 which crashed in the PA countryside as well as the two plane that crashed in to the twin towers 18 minutes apart). Do something patriotic, don't do something that just stirs up hatred and depression. Don't try for that "shock value" as it does a disservice for all those that fought the fight, and all those who lost loved ones in those heinous attacks on the citizens of the US.

Watch the following video till the end, see if you can where the message was (and still is in my personal opinion).

It's child safe.....

Again just my two cents worth.

I try and do something patriotic everyday that the weather allows-a.jpg

The "separation of church and state" is in a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptists and appears nowhere in the Constitution but the progressives would like you to believe that it is contained there. And yes we ARE a nation founded on Christian principles again much to the chagrin of progressives.

America might be built on loving and understanding Christian principles..

Sadly, I steered it there by speaking from my heart. But I dished it out, if there are those that disagree with me, I'm an adult, I can handle it.

Emotions can easily overwhelm anyone and knee jerk reactions become common place and as long as someone is not questioning another person's integrity, skin color and/or things that can be taken as demeaning cooler heads will eventually prevail. There are those that take personal attacks on their character from innuendo remarks quite personally and in my opinion quite justified.
Of course there are those who are just plain d**ks and should be dealt with accordingly and then are those who hide behind a false facade who enjoy stirring up s**t and then backing off when the s**t becomes too deep. It's those type of people who deserve a rebuke.

Bottom Line is that it's ART so everyone WILL NOT be pleased or be happy with it.

Me watching that second plane flying into the second tower was like running across my original 1968 428cj Torino---and then learning the guy was taking it to a demolision derby--------------and that was all over and above my total feelings/thoughts about being an American under attack of what was possibly WW3-------


Robin and I went to the gas station, filled up car and truck, bought dried beans and potatoes, went to Red Cross to donate blood------------then realized that our son was at Scout AFB for his first day------------




what were some of the things you other old geezers did to prepare?????????

I too was watching that horrible day and the Ex had tuned in right before the second plane hit. She hollered at me to come see and I saw the second plane hit. For a moment, I was completely and utterly "numb" and then I thought of my friends that worked down town NYC and started trying to call them but with no success. After about 30 minutes, I started going through different emotions and I must have gone thru all of them that I have. First I was grieving for the people there, then I was as angry as I've ever been, then I became frightened, then I would cry, scream and I even went outside and cussed those "Maggots" at the top of my lungs as if they could hear me while throwing everything that I could pick up at the trees and the ground. Well, I took 2 elavils and finally reached my two friends and they were OK then I sat down in my recliner and wept and trembled for I don't know how long. I will say that, in my 73 years, I have never gone through that range of emotions one after another in my life.\

For some reason, Preparation, never crossed our minds but probably 'cause we were so far from it????

Wow, I'm surprised the thread got re-opened. I'll stay out of the first battle..............

I remember that day like yesterday. It was chaos. My girl friend, now my wife was freaking out, my transmission had just went out of my 97 F250 again, and I had to take it to the trans shop. Then I went in to the local PAR terminal and helped get trucks ready to head to NYC so they could take supplies and equipment to help out. It was crazy, it really felt like we could have been getting ready for another attack, you just didn't know when.
