The Anniversary of 9-11

Please Mr TV Producer, understand something:

I remember where I was on September 11th, 2001.

At the time I was an itinerent teacher who had just arrived at the second school. The secretaries asked me if I had heard about the plane that hit the World Trade Center. Within minutes and while we pondered whether it was an accident or a suicide act, the second plane hit and there was no doubt we were under attack.

I remember watching the towers fall and feeling a pressing need to get to my elderly mother, whom I had talked with but who lived about 20 minutes from my work.

They dismissed us almost as soon as the towers crumbled. Flight 77 which ultimately hit the pentagon, turned and flew directly over our county. It's rumored the state police called the super and told him to send students home. At that time we didn't know what would be next.

When kids were gone, I went to Mom's and for the next few hours sat with her, watching in horrified shock as other planes disappeared.

I don't often cry myself to sleep but I did that night. I couldn't get the thought out of my brain that the people lost must have been horrified and terribly sad to be used as weapons of destruction the way they were.

So, I remember Mr Producer. I remember the events of the day so do us all a favor. If you're going to show some anniversary special DO IT RIGHT. Leave the bullshit partisan politics out of it. Let the people involved tell their OWN story and stop trying to make political points for ANY party from such tragedy.

NBC did a good job tonight with Skies Over America. There are reports that ABC does not intend to follow suit and will air a film entitled: The Path To 9-11 which contains FICTIONALIZED accounts of events prior to 9-11, including words and conversations attributed to Clinton and his staff that NEVER happened.

ABC will show their disrespect for the victims of 9-11 with their airing of this propeganda. It shows how low we've sunk.

I'm boycotting the film. Most won't. Morbid curosity, if nothing else, will call people to the screen.

I hold ABC in the same contempt as I do the conpiracy theorists who want to claim Bush was responsible for 9-11. that bombs really took down the WTC and that a jet couldn't have hit the pentagon.

My anger surfaces here. These people need therapy. I intently dislike Bush but no way do I believe he or Rove either would have killed more than 3000 people in order to gain power.

I'm glad you boycotted the movie. I did too as well as boycotting ABC, Disney, and their advertisers.

Regarding the conspiracy theories about 9/11, the best arguement I have heard against is BushCo is far too imcompentent to have pulled off something of that magnitude.
