If it were a block party celebrating the deaths of the victims of
9/11, I'd agree with you. However, it's a block party welcoming
back UI and WSU students. I can't get too worked up about that.<br>
<br>
Is it just me, or has this 9/11 remembrance day officially jumped
the shark? I'm not talking private individuals or local groups
meeting in remembrance or to discuss related topics. I'm all for
that, and my heart goes out to anyone who lost somebody during the
attacks. I'm talking about the people making who knows how much
money off of this tragedy. I thank the gods I don't have TV right
now, I'm sure it's over the top and has been for a week or more.<br>
<br>
I feel like Charlie Brown lamenting the over-commercialization of
Christmas.<br>
<br>
That's why I can't get outraged about someone having some kind of
event not related to the attacks.<br>
<br>
Besides, I didn't know anybody who died there, not even
second-hand. My plans for tomorrow involve driving up to St. Maries
and sorting through more of my dad's stuff. He died in November.
He *is* someone I knew well. <br>
