I am truly sorry to anyone who has friends or family that died in 9/11, but we have to look at the big picture here. If Afghanistan is terrorist than we, USA, are exponentially worse terrorist with the Bombing of Japan. You know, August 6, 1945! Probably not. No one around here gives a fuck about anyone else. Everyone chattering away nine eleven this and nine eleven that. Oh, jeeze, its real fuckin memorable, and its real catchy too! It's like it was designed by a marketing agency.
A couple of buildings fell over. What about when all the people in two entire cities were DISINTEGRATED?!?! Then all of their ancestors get to be sick for who knows how long because of the nuclear radiation. There is no excuse! There is no excuse for what we did! There is no excuse for dropping the atom bomb. Everyone wants to cry about 9/11 just because it happened to us. Selfish.
A perfect example is when I was putting on a performance where I was playing improvised jazz music. We were supposed to improvise based on the emotions we felt from imagery that was projected behind the band. We included a picture of the the trade center collapsing and another of the mushroom cloud. The people hosting the event wouldn't allow us to use to picture of the trade center. But sure enough when the picture of the Atom bomb came up, they thought that was just the coolest damn thing that ever happened. WTF! Those people were probably even old enough to have been alive during that time.
It makes me sleep better at night knowing that a common mentality is, "yea for me and fuck everyone else!" ain't that fucking wholesome?
