Re: I don't think you remember...
I have no problem taking a moment or even a day of remembrance, but just thinking about all the hokey, cornball phrases that'll be tossed around on the news networks today makes me glad I'm at school and unable to watch TV.
The news networks will try to grab more viewership today by exploiting that tragic day 7 years ago. With 'special segments' dressed up like Hallmark cards coupled with generic piano accompaniments.
Since I'm in California, both attacks had already occurred by the time I was up and getting ready for school. New York and the nation at large were in complete shock and in a state of chaos. I stayed home from school that day to watch the coverage but also because we suspected more attacks might occur in other significant U.S. locations.
I think most work places and schools came to a stand-still that day. Either huddled around a radio or TV.
Its hard to believe its been 7 years. I'm curious to see how people born after 2001 are responding to today's anniversary. They'll never experience it the same way we do.
