[Feelin' Naughty]

OK people, you know the rules, someone has to keep me company while B watches the race! Where are you tara????

Man, I am all choked up, they are doing a memorial to 9-11 at the race. I see those babies over in Afganistan fighting for us and it just gets to me.......

 

[hatara]

I can't watch it Naughty. Now they want to make a movie about the last hours of the people on the planes. They say America wants to see it but the families of those people are so ripped apart it's horrible.

My honey is on his way home from work as we speak!!!!

 

[Feelin' Naughty]

Gosh, I have mixed feelings about a movie. A lot would depend on how accurate they were in portaying the heros on that flight. If they showed them as everyday people, thrust into the situation that made them heros I think it might be cool. But on the other hand I can see how badly it would hurt those people's families.

 

[hatara]

They have seen the footage that killed their families dozens of times by now. While I agree those people deserve to have their stories told I think they should give it some more time. Those families need to be able to heal.

 

[Feelin' Naughty]

but on the other hand you have five fingers......nevermind... the country is losing the patriotic spirit that grabbed us a year ago. If they made this movie, reminded people of the horrible, unspeakable cruelty of terrorists it might give everyone the push they need to stay mad and kick Bin Ladin and company's ass!
A movie wouldn't be like the newscasts, it would only be played to those who wanted to see it.

 

[hatara]

Very true as long as they do it right. I think that's the only thing everyone wants.

So how is that race? My gators are losing.

 

[Feelin' Naughty]

Last we saw Gators were down 20-10. I'm sorry...*making a pouty face*

The race is in Richmond ,VA, short track, way too many cautions for me to be interested in watching.

 

[hatara]

LOL Ok I am waiting for a certain very hunky guy to get home from work and online.

Interrupting this thread for a patriotic moment!

This editorial is from last year, 9-12-2001
It is still the best I have read concerning 9-11 and I
wanted to share it with you all again.

Leonard Pitts Jr. column from the Miami Herald
Published Wednesday, September 12, 2001
=================================

We'll go forward from this moment

It's my job to have something to say.

They pay me to provide words that help make sense of
that which troubles the American soul. But in this
moment of airless shock when hot tears sting
disbelieving eyes, the only thing I can find to say, the
only words that seem to fit, must be addressed to the
unknown author of this suffering.

You monster. You beast. You unspeakable bastard.

What lesson did you hope to teach us by your coward's
attack on our World Trade Center, our Pentagon, us? What
was it you hoped we would learn? Whatever it was, please
know that you failed.

Did you want us to respect your cause? You just damned
your cause.

Did you want to make us fear? You just steeled our
resolve.

Did you want to tear us apart? You just brought us
together.

Let me tell you about my people. We are a vast and
quarrelsome family, a family rent by racial, social,
political and class division but a family nonetheless.
We're frivolous, yes, capable of expending
tremendous emotional energy on pop cultural minutiae --
a singer's revealing dress, a ball team's misfortune, a
cartoon mouse. We're wealthy, too, spoiled by the ready
availability of trinkets and material goods, and maybe
because of that, we walk through life with a certain
sense of blithe entitlement. We are fundamentally
decent, though -- peace-loving and compassionate. We
struggle to know the right thing and to do it. And we
are, the overwhelming majority of us, people of faith,
believers in a just and loving God.

Some people -- you, perhaps -- think that any or all of
this makes us weak. You're mistaken. We are not weak.
Indeed, we are strong in ways that cannot be measured by
arsenals.


IN PAIN

Yes, we're in pain now. We are in mourning and we are in
shock. We're still grappling with the unreality of the
awful thing you did, still working to make ourselves
understand that this isn't a special effect from some
Hollywood blockbuster, isn't the plot development from a
Tom Clancy novel. Both in terms of the awful scope of
their ambition and the probable final death toll, your
attacks are likely to go down as the worst acts of
terrorism in the history of the United States and,
probably, the history of the world. You've bloodied us
as we have never been bloodied before.



But there's a gulf of difference between making us
bloody and making us fall. This is the lesson Japan was
taught to its bitter sorrow the last time anyone hit us
this hard, the last time anyone brought us such abrupt
and monumental pain. When roused, we are righteous in
our outrage, terrible in our force. When provoked by
this level of barbarism, we will bear any suffering, pay
any cost, go to any length, in the pursuit of justice.

I tell you this without fear of contradiction. I know my
people, as you, I think, do not. What I know reassures
me. It also causes me to tremble with dread of the
future.

In the days to come, there will be recrimination and
accusation, fingers pointing to determine whose failure
allowed this to happen and what can be done to prevent
it from happening again. There will be heightened
security, misguided talk of revoking basic freedoms.
We'll go forward from this moment sobered, chastened,
sad. But determined, too. Unimaginably determined.


THE STEEL IN US

You see, the steel in us is not always readily apparent.
That aspect of our character is seldom understood by
people who don't know us well.
On this day, the family's bickering is put on hold. As
Americans we will weep, as Americans we will mourn, and
as Americans, we will rise in defense of all that we
cherish.

So I ask again: What was it you hoped to teach us? It
occurs to me that maybe you just wanted us to know the
depths of your hatred. If that's the case, consider the
message received. And take this message in exchange: You
don't know my people. You don't know what we're capable
of. You don't know what you just started.

But you're about to learn.

But what a way to die

Yeah, I figure that if I gotta go, i might as well go on top of hatara and with a big simle on my face!!!

The fearless guide stumbles into the computer room and slumps in her chair. Wearily she drops the machete' to the floor.
"I believe the way is safe, I have cut a path for you through the jungle."

I take it you've been doing yard work???

 

[Feelin' Naughty]

I take it you've been doing yard work???

*grins* you got it!

 

[jamor9]

I am alone but only physically. All I can see is the face of an absolutely wonderful man. I answered the door this afternoon and found a wonderful surprise.

He is the sweetest man in the world and if the flowers didn't make me fall in love with him all over again the card did.

I am pretty wonderful, aren't I?

A movie wouldn't be like the newscasts, it would only be played to those who wanted to see it.

The documetery that CBS did about the 2 brothers who were making a film about one of the firestations involved is all any American should need to see to keep them pissed off about what happened!!
I also dont thaink that its the American people who have become complacent and non-patriotic about what happened on 9/11/01 and what is going on in Afghanistan.. I think the news media has deemed that the American public has lost interest and has decided that they don't need to cover it as much as they were say 6 months ago. BUT, if you have noticed, the closer it gets to the aniversary, the more things about it we are hearing and seeing. Once again, the opportunity for the media to make a buck!!
My not so humble opinion!

 

[hatara]

Works for me!!!!!

Though I would rather have you live and be pleasured again and again!!

I didn't see that.

You could be right, ( I can't believe I said that in public *wink*) I have learned to hate the media. It's all about dead presidents isn't it?

Once again also the people in the military are being looked down on again too. Now that the main push is over they are being forgotten and their working more hours than ever. If they work a 12 hour shift with the other military duties it winds up being 14 to 16 hours. The police and fireman have always worked hard and put their lives on the line. Yet I talk to many people today that think they are worthless or in some cases corrupt and crooks.

I was brought up to believe that people serving our country and the one that keep us safe deserve our respect and thanks. It is the way I was raised. The police help and protect us (yes even when we get tickets) the fireman are willing to risk their lives everyday to save ours. Our military works to protect us from foreign enemies, if they weren't there we would be at war constantly with no protection.

I guess I just had old fashioned parents. My dad was in WWII and my parents always taught me to be grateful to the people that help protect me.

 

[jamor9]

I didn't see that.

Yeah, but you know that I am right ALL THE TIME...you don't have to admit it in public if you don't want to!!

 

[Feelin' Naughty]

I agree with everything you said tara, I have the utmost respect for the military and for people that work in emergency services. I

My Dad wasn't in the service, but I was raised that way too.

 

[Feelin' Naughty]

Yup Naughty I know and it just irks me to here little kids calling cops names and saying they do nothing but write tickets and get rid of them. I am talking like 8 to 11 year olds, now you know those kids heard that at home. Mom or Dad got a ticket and vented and they don't think about what they are teaching the kids sitting there. If the only thing that came out of 9-11 would be that people would teach their children what we were taught I would be happy.

Well, clean yourself up woman!! LOL
