damn, I can't believe it's been one year already. I'm not satisfied, there hasn't been enough ass kicking going on. Everyone's practically forgotten about it. I'm glad they're trying to keep the memory alive because in this day and age, a year is an eternity feels like an eternity with so much to do. I just hope they don't replay the footage of people dying or the buildings coming down, because it gets me everytime. The media should just be civil about it and not use it as an exscuse to sell commercial time.

The BEST tribute all the news broadcasters could do on 9/11: go off the air.

I too have had enough of it.

On another note, maybe Bush will start Desert Storm: Part II on September 11?

I agree, I was reading a USA Today article and it reminded just how many innocent American lives perished (around 3,400) almost 1 year ago :(

There needs to be a lot more ass whoopin' taking place.

With $1 tickets to Vegas, don't tell me you guys are thinking about wasting 9/11 on TV coverage? I for one am going to work, but if I didn't it would be Vegas, baby :)

I wonder if any station will show the video of the people jumping to their deaths from the upper floors of the towers.

Actually, your sentence should read "actually, you should have a comma before 'David'" :D

then again, it's not like I know anything about grammar or punctuation; being an engineer and all :)

Well my cousins birthday is on 9/11 so I'm sure it will be such a wonderful day to celebrate now. Of course we live in Canada so It won't be quite as bad.
