Six years ago today, 2974 died between the wtc attacks and the Washington & Pennsylvania disasters. The U.S. response to 9/11 has since caused 3723 American deaths. How many more people have to die before someone realizes why this is wrong? -
History Repeating
It's incredibly sad to see what happened at Virginia Tech, although it's not all that surprising. For years I have been mumbling to myself about added security and wondering why people seem to forget so easily. Maybe I just retain dates better than most people.
