5 Long Years

Yep, it doesn't seem as if were 5 years ago today that a monumental tragedy took place. It feels as if it were only yesterday ...

Why does it feel that way? Because the media (in an election year no less - coincidence? Um, maybe not ...) are making sure to devote every spare second to showing the planes fly into the towers. There are documentaries, made-for-tv movies, and news shows this past week ... and I'm sure in the weeks to come as well.

I will perhaps offend some readers when I post a link that concerns 9/11 and the events of that day (moreover, events leading to that day), but I am not worried about that. If my readers love America (as many claim they do), then they will respect and remember that if America is to be free, Americans must honor those freedoms. The freedom I write about is the freedom of speech ... the freedom I have to express my opinion. Now ... I know as sure as I'm sittin' here that some readers will argue that the link I provide below is in direct conflict with our government ... and it's because of our government and its soldiers that I have the right to the freedom I mentioned above. Most of that is true ... I agree that I enjoy this freedom because others fight for us to protect it ... that's right and I agree 100%. But what always seems to get lost in the mail (so to speak) is the fact that granted, our military protects them, but they are only the puppets of our government - they do as they're told. I am grateful for the risk they take ... I am ... and my readers need to keep in mind that just because I am grateful doesn't mean that I can't have an opinion.

I will always believe that the events of 9/11 were cold, cowardly and tragic ... HOWEVER, I will also always believe that our government (specifically George Bush and his cronies) are more than partly responsible FOR THE REASON for the attacks. Slay me and burn my name in effigy for saying so ... I do not care.

The link below will bring those interested parties to a website called "Scholars for 9/11 truth." I think those who have an open mind will visit this site and give some of the articles a look-see ...
